A. S. Perry, Field Secretary, Keystone Pecan Co.
_A. S. Perry_, Field Secretary of the Keystone Pecan Company, is not
only one of the best known pecan experts in America, but is also
thoroughly in touch with the best pecan land in Southwest Georgia, of
which he is a native. For practically a hundred years his family has
lived or owned land in Calhoun County—his grandfather’s farm being only
ten miles from our Calhoun County Plantation.
Was educated at the Southwest Georgia Agricultural and Military College
(a branch of the State University) and also at Emory University. In
addition to his general and agricultural education, he studied law and
was admitted to practice in all courts of Georgia—specializing in
Commercial Law.
Has had much practical experience in pecan growing—orchards near
Cuthbert, established by Mr. Perry, are recognized as of such high grade
that his services have been in great demand for establishing new
orchards, top working old seedling orchards to paper shell pecans and
similar expert horticultural work. In addition to the National Nut
Growers’ Association, of which he has been elected secretary for the
fourth successive term, he is a member of the Georgia-Florida Pecan
Growers’ Association, Georgia Horticultural Society and Alabama
Horticultural Society, and is in demand as a speaker on pecan culture
before these organizations.

Murray Hill, N. J., Oct. 1st, 1919.
_My Dear Mr. Hess_:
After spending last Saturday and Monday inspecting the entire
plantation, I am highly pleased with the progress made since my last
inspection.
The trees of this year’s planting have taken hold in a remarkable
fashion—the growth made since last March is so wonderful that it is
hard to believe.
