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.

OUR CLAIMS.

Having grown only pecan trees for the
last 32 years, we can claim to be able to
furnish only the best of stock, stake
trained, rootgrafted, all scions from our
own bearing trees, eliminating all chances
of mixing varieties, a combination of
points that cannot be beaten.

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.
