Plant Our Quicker-

Pecans for Future Money Crops

1 on Should tiet a Fine, Fruit-Rearing Orchard in 2 to 4 Years

With Our Better-Rooted Trees

FOR 24 years we have been building a reputation
among buyers of our pecan trees, as growers of the
best root systems known. Those who bought our
pecan trees have been so enthusiastic about them, they
have frequently asked us to supply their fruit trees.

For a number of years we have owned and controlled
several hundred acres of peach orchards and nurseries.
More recently we have added a complete line of fruit

We F urnish Dependable Instructions for the

trees, English and black walnuts, figs, grapes, etc.
The nursery stocks we grow have been budded or
grafted from vigorous, heavy-bearing stock. The root-
systems we grow have given our trees a well-merited
reputation for growing off more quickly, and for fruit¬
ing earlier than the average nursery stock. Hundreds
of our customers say our trees bear from one to three
years earlier than most nursery trees.

“Your Golden Beauty Peach arrives here when
the demand is good. We sold this peach for $2
per 1/3 bushel lug throughout the season, and
could sell them that way as long as they last.
We believe this early peach, being far su¬
perior in appearance, carrying qualities and
taste . . . will always find a ready market.” —

chants, Galveston, Texas.

PLANT PECAN TREES

NOR— Roots Must Set Refore Trees Can Grow ami Rear Nuts

Prepare Now for The Future

Live at Home — Out of Your Own

Garden and Orchard— Cut Your Grocery Bills

President Roosevelt Says:

Every farm home should be self-supporting as far as
possible — especially in the foods consumed by the family.

A Well-known Manufacturer

believed it so important for even the city man to grow
his fruits and vegetables, that he invested many thou¬
sands of dollars in suburban gardens and orchards for
his employees.

You can grow several hundred dollars worth of Fruits
and Pecans annually on a very few acres. A good Fruit
and Pecan Orchard is worth $500 or more per acre, even
when land values are low.

In Bad Times and Good Times— Orchards
Are Profitable As a Permanent Investment

Plant Fruits for Quick Crops — Pecans and Walnuts for Future Money Crops

FRUIT CROPS supply the home table with
fresh, appetizing and healthful food. They
should also supply a reasonable fresh fruit sur¬
plus to be sold for cash. They should also be
canned to furnish much delicious and health¬
giving food throughout the winter months when
food prices are highest.

PECAN and WALNUT CROPS supply the
family with high protein food for most of the
year without cold storage. As a Cash Money
Crop PAPERSHELL PECANS bring more in¬
come per acre than any other standard farm
crop. WALNUTS are not very plentiful, so they
also offer good investment opportunity.

Prices of Our Trees Are Very Beasonahle

if You Wait You May Have to Pay More

Order Notv and Tell Us When to Ship

You can buy at the present low prices NOW,
and plant later, by paying HALF in cash with
order, and we can reserve first quality trees for
you to be shipped when you prefer to plant. We
advise planting as early as possible. A few
months or weeks of delay in planting may mean

a difference of an entire season or year in the
time your trees begin to bear. Roots must be¬
come established before the trees can grow.

Buy Direct— Save 30% t« 50%

Buy fresh-dug trees for less — direct from
the leading fruit and nut nursery of the South.
