BURKETT 
The Pecan, State Tree of Texas, surpasses all trees for sheer beauty, perma- 
nence, and profit. Plant Stuart’s papershell pecans for your own pleasure and 
profit, and to provide a natural endowment for your children and grand- 
children. 
With great pride we offer you our proven varieties of budded papershell 
pecans. We consider the varieties offered and our own stock in these varieties 
to be of the best. Our trees grow much faster, are more productive, and bear 
younger than the seedling trees. 
Closest attention is given by the management to see that only the very 
best bud woods are selected for the budding of our papershell pecans. These 
fine buds are budded on hardy Texas pecan seedlings. This combination of 
rugged root stock and buds of high quality and vitality produces the best of 
trees. 
In planting, bear in mind the permanence of the pecan tree and its great 
size; allow plenty of room. Do not plant the trees closer than 40 feet to each 
other. In commercial plantings, it is better to space them 60 by 60 feet. 
In ideal pecan soils, the post-hole digger may be used to open the holes for 
the trees. Plant the trees about two inches deeper than they stood in the 
nursery row. Return the good top soil to the hole first, 
water well, and finish refilling hole with dirt and tamp 
well. 
In tight soils, it is better to open a good-sized hole so 
the trees will find a friendlier place in which to establish 
themselves.
