All Varieties, Including Seedling
Picture to the left shows our crew in 1954, both
white and colored. We operated in 1955 with a
reduced force, due to the short pecan crop in
Georgia. We have handled a great many more pe
cans in the season, 1956-57, and we plan to handle
more in the future. It is our intention to enlarge
