2 COCKRELL’S RIVERSIDE NURSERY 
PAPERSHELL PECANS 
Our pecan trees are grown on selected root stock. We 
have found that the Riverside variety which originated 
here is one of the best possible nuts to plant for budding 
purposes. In co-operation with other nurseries and our 
Extension Department of A. & M. College we planted 
hundreds of varieties of seedlings for root stocks. Out of 
all these plantings we found Riverside to be the best for 
root stock. These seedlings 
produce a more vigorous, 
thrifty, and quick-growing 
tree. These trees develop 
a better root system. Some 
of them are ready for 
budding just six months 
after planting. By setting 
out trees that have been 
budded on these root 
stocks, you get a _ tree 
that makes more rapid 
growth and begins bear- 
ing ene to two years ; 
earlier than the ordinary Root Systems of Our Pecan Trees 
tree. Assure Quick and Rapid Growth 
A few pecan trees planted around your home will in- 
crease the value of your property. A pecan orchard set 
out on your land will soon double the value. There is 
no better investment than pecan trees—they will repay 
you many times for the work and money invested in 
them. They are good insurance for the future. 
Why not plant a pecan orchard? If you have a good 
piece of pasture land, plant it in pecans and continue to 
pasture it, too. Plant it to vetch or peas and small grains 
for a few years and run lambs on it. After the trees 
have reached sufficient size, turn your cattle in. In this 
way you can easily reap two cash crops from your land. 
Many growers are making from $100 to $200 per acre 
from pecans and still have good pastures.
