BASS TREES riOLD 
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 was one of the best 
known physicians as well as loved and re- 
spected citizens of South Mississippi, and is 
absolutely authentic as he gathered and 
weighed the pecans himself. The trees bear- 
ing 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.
