BASS TREES HOLD 
WORLD'S RECORD! 
This is the remarkable bearing record of nine 
of our Extra Special pecan trees set out the 
last of February by Dr. D. B. Stevenson of 
Lumberton, Miss. Most all of these trees bore 
pecans the first year set out. They were our 
largest size trees and have been given the 
very best of attention by Dr. Stevenson. He 
has fertilized the trees very heavily with 
barnyard manure and worked around them 
often, so that weeds and grass would not get 
the fertilizer. Results have been remarkable. 
The record that follows was carefully kept by 
Dr. Stevenson, who is one of the best known 
physicians as well as loved and respected 
citizens of South Mississippi, and is abso- 
lutely authentic as he gathered and weighed 
the pecans himself. The trees bearing the 
heaviest crops were the ones most favorably 
located. Trees with smallest yields were 
greatly handicapped by being near big oaks, 
sidewalks, etc. The nuts were gathered in 
October and November two years and eight 
months later—actually before the trees had 
been set in the ground three years.
