Introducing Color 
Here are pear seed- 
lings that not only 
show wide diversity of 
form, but almost equally 
wide variation in color. It 
has previously been point- 
ed out that the pear usu- 
ally lacks color. Here, 
obviously, particularly in 
the specimen shown in 
the center, is opportunily 
for the development of 
pears having richly col- 
ored skins like those of 
the apple. Mr. Burbank’s 
experiments in this direc- 
tion have already had 
interesting results.
