Methods of Shipment 
Railway Express shipment is the preferred method of getting your trees to you promptly 
and at a special nursery rate. Notice is sent you the day the trees are shipped, so you may expect 
arrival of your trees at the express office. Shipments in all cases are made Express Collect, 
unless special allowances are made for prepayment of shipments. 
Trees which are 3-4 ft. in size or smaller can be shipped by PARCEL POST. To have 
your order sent by mail, add twenty percent (20%) to your order for postage and we will pre- 
pay it. Or you can request shipment to be C. O. D. for the postage charges. If you add 20% 
and postage is more than that, we take the loss. This service is rapid, and very desirable for 
R. F. D. customers, since the trees will be delivered to your mailbox. 
Other methods of shipment can be arranged, although the shipments by Railway Express 
ot by Parcel Post are the best methods. Motor Freight shipment is generally unsatisfactory 
because of delay at terminal points, but if it is desired it is necessary that we be given the 
name of the delivering carrier. Railroad freight is too slow in all cases, and air express can 
be used, but is too expensive generally speaking, and unnecessary in the United States. 
Special Notice 
BEFORE ACCEPTING YOUR SHIPMENT from your expressman or postman, 
be sure to examine the bundle carefully. If trees are damaged in transit be sure the 
deliveryman marks this damage on your receipt. Then send us your receipt showing the 
extent of the damage, and we will file claim for the damage for you. 
Should the package be so badly damaged that you refuse them, write us at once and we 
can make a duplicate shipment. 
Government Bulletins and Experiment Stations 
The United States Government maintains three large experiment stations and laboratories 
specializing in the culture of pecan trees. These are: 
U. S. Pecan Experiment Station, Albany, Georgia 
U. S. Pecan Experiment Station, RFD 6, Meridian, Mississippi 
U. S. Pecan Laboratory, Court House, Shreveport, Louisiana 
Write these stations if you have particular questions about your trees or crops, or for 
free information about pecan culture. Also write the U. S. Department of Agriculture, Wash- 
ington 25, D. C. for free bulletins on pecans, if you wish: 
No. 1501—Nut Tree Propagation 
No. 1829—Insects and Diseases of Pecans and Their Control. 
And in all Southern states the state Department of Agriculture, and its State Plant Board, 
can probably furnish free bulletins on pecan culture in your particular region, 
Pecan Buds and Grafts For Sale 
Thousands of buds and grafts are supplied each year to all sections of the U. S. for propa- 
gating young trees either by root grafting, or top budding or grafting. Buds and grafts are 
selected by experts from our finest young trees and are the finest to be had. The success of 
any budding or grafting depends on the ability of the operator and the quality of the material 
used. Poor buds or grafts mean poor results even for the best propagator. Five cents (5¢) 
per bud or graft, in lots of 25 or more, is the lowest price we can afford to cut back our best 
trees for. In lots of 500 or more we get 4¢ each, and in lots of 1000 or more 3!4/4¢ each. Such 
fine varieties as Stuart, Success, and Mississippi Giant are furnished, and in limited quantities 
we can also supply Lewis, Dependable, Moore, Moneymaker, Forkert, and Davis—all fine 
varieties.
