Blight-Proof 

 SURPRISE PEAR ON JAPAN PEAR ROOT 



Tests made in every conceivable way in the experimental blocks along side of and at the 

 same time with all leading varieties of pears have proven the impossibility of spreading pear 

 blight more than a trifling distance beyond the point of inoculation. 



Plant the blight-proof Surprise and insure against loss. The second year top-work to 

 Bartlett, Bosc, or any desired variety and you have the most blight resistant trunk and frame- 

 work yet developed. This method is endorsed by leading horticultural experts after extensive 

 experiments. Thousands of these trees have been planted the last few years in California, 

 Southern Oregon, and in Washington. Our buds were secured direct from Prof. Reimer of 

 the Southern Oregon Experiment Station, Talent, Oregon. 



In our four hundred-acre nursery located on clean new soil of the Yakima Indian Reserva- 

 tion we grow a complete assortment of commercial fruit trees and genera! nursery stock. 

 Rich soil, a long growing season, moisture under control and perfect fall weather for ma- 

 turing our stock enable us to produce and deliver nursery stock unsurpassed for vigor, thrifti- 

 ness and root system.

 Old Friend: 



You don't have to advance my 

 "sub" any to get me to renew. The 

 "little old magazine" is worth all you 

 ask for it, and then some. I am 

 sending in a two years' subscription 

 instead of one so I won't be bother- 

 ing you for a spell.
