Methods of Shipment 
We prefer to ship pecan trees and fruit trees to you by Railway Express, for this company 
gives a special nursery rate and can get the trees to you promptly. We send you a notice on the 
day the trees are shipped, so you may expect arrival of the trees at the express office and can 
call about the shipment. Shipments are always made Express Collect, unless special arrange- 
ments are made in advance for shipments to come prepaid. We do not ship c.o.d. without a 
deposit of at least 25% of the total amount of the order. 
Parcel Post shipment can be made on trees that are either Small size or are Medium size fruit 
trees and cut back to meet Postal regulations. Fruit trees have a shorter root than pecan trees, 
and so a larger size can be shipped Parcel Post. To have your order sent by mail, add twenty 
per cent (20%) of the total amount of the order, including any packing charge, for postage. 
You can request c.o.d. shipment for the postage if you wish, but this involves added postal 
charges, so it is better to send your money for postage with the payment for the order. 
Motor Freight shipment will be made if you will give us complete routing instructions 
when sending in your order. You can get these by calling your local motor freight company 
and ask for the quickest and best routing from Lumberton or Hattiesburg. Railroad freight is 
too slow for shipment of perishable trees. Motor Freight is used only when specific delivering 
carriers are named with order. 
SPECIAL NOTICE 
Before you accept any shipment inspect it. Be sure that the bundle 
is not damaged and trees broken. If sc, have the deliveryman make 
notation of such damage on your receipt, and send to us at once. 
We will be glad to file claim for the damage for you. 
lif the package is so delayed or badly damaged that shipment is 
refused, have the agent give you some evidence of the attempted 
delivery and reason for the refusal. Send this to us, so duplicate ship- 
ment can be made and claim filed. 
Government Bulletins and Experiment Stations 
We are always glad to have your letters about your trees, but often you will find that 
specific information can be given by writing one of the three large experiment stations main- 
tained by the United States Government for pecan growers. These are: 
U. S. Pecan Experiment Station, Albany, Georgia. 
U. S. Pecan Experiment Station, RFD 6, Meridian, Mississippi. 
U. S. Pecan Laboratory, Court House Bldg., Shreveport, Louisiana. 
Write the office nearest you for information about insects that may be attacking your trees 
or other specific questions you may have, sending leaf samples and giving full information 
about the trees and cultivation given them. 
In each of the Southern states there are State Plant Boards, and we are listing these for 
your information. Write them for any free bulletins they may have on pecan and fruit trees in 
your state, and for their latest information about the cultivation of trees.
