To Our Customers

The Ocean Springs Pecan Nursery was established in 1883, and is the oldest pe- can nursery in the State. The first GRAFTED pecans were produced on our home place after years of patient trials.

We aim to grow only FIRST CLASS ROOT GRAFTED stock and guarantee all trees true to name, as we own all our own bearing trees of the different varieties listed, besides other new ones in trial grounds, but not listed until proven to be as good as the best we have so far.

Our shipping facilities are first-c'ass as the L. & N. R. R. passes in front of nur- sery.

We have no connection with any other nursery.

Our responsibility extends only to per- sons purchasing direct from us; dealers purchasing from us sell upon their own guarantee.

Jackson County, Miss., is the banner county for fancy pecans. Stuart, Pabst, Russell, Schley, Jewett, Deimas, Success and others were all originated here, and these varieties stand at the head of the pecan industry to-day.

Let any other county, or even state, make as good a showing.

HOW TO PLANT PECAN TREES.

The best timeis from the falling of the leaf up to the end of February, though the

earliest planted trees have a better chance to get settled and callous the freshly cut roots.

In a heavy, rich soil, it would be best to plant fifty feet apart; in the lighter soils forty feet or even closer if a larger rev- enue is desired at once, and the planter will have the requisite courage to cut out when the trees begin to crowd each other.

Never let the trees get dry being left in the sunshine or wind. Always have the roots covered with a wet sack or two, and only uncover one at a time as needed. Trim the roots with a keen knife and set fully as deep as in the nursery, rather too deep than too shallow. Keep brush and stable manure out of the hole and use only a fine brand of bone meal, we^l mixed with soil.

Do not forget to tramp well the soil over the roots; the closer the contact of soil with roots the better the result. After being planted cover with a few inches of loose soil for a mulch.

Any cultivated crop may be grown be- tween trees, so as to cover all cost and have a revenue besides, or cowpeas and velvet beans may be grown, though care must be taken to keep the vines from choking the trees.
