Only the Finest Trees 
HEN you buy a BASS BRED-UP Pecan Tree you get 
extra value for your money. We measure our trees from 
the ground up—you do not pay for the roots. 
Our Trees Have The Finest Root Systems 
Ne pecan trees have finer root systems than the trees we 
grow here at Lumberton. Our soil is ideal for the devel- 
opment of a full root system, thrifty, vigorous and healthy. 
We have had thousands of visitors during the past 40 years, 
and without an exception they have said they saw the finest 
pecan trees growing here that they had ever seen. 
Our Trees Are Packed the Best 
OU can buy fine pecan trees, but if they are not dug and 
packed well for shipment, you have nothing when you 
get them, for they will not live and grow well for you. We 
dig our trees by hand, with especially designed and manufac- 
tured shovels, and we go deeper and get finer roots than any 
nursery we know of. 
On this page there is a picture of a bale of pecan trees 
ready for shipment; trees are packed carefully and thoroughly 
so they will not dry out or be bruised or broken during ship- 
ment. We use the finest ways to get our choice BRED-UP trees 
to the customer in the best condition. 
Call For Trees As Soon As They Arrive 
WE send a notice on the day trees are shipped, so the cus- 
tomer may expect their arrival. When trees arrive, inspect 
them before accepting the shipment, to be sure that none was 
broken or damaged in transit. If any tree is damaged, have 
the postman or the expressman make the proper notation on 
the receipt you sign. Send us the slip showing the damage, and 
we can file claim. We cannot file claim unless you send us the 
receipt signed by the agent, showing damage to the shipment.
