The Ideal Pear 
This is the pear 
which represents the 
culmination of Mr. Bur- 
bank’s many years of ex- 
periment with this fruit. 
It will be seen that the 
best qualities of the seed- 
lings shown in the earlier 
illustrations have _ been 
combined to produce a 
pear that is of ideal shape, 
large in size, and beauti- 
fully colored. When we 
add that the flesh of this 
pear is of corresponding 
quality, it will be plain 
that the fruit justifies the 
name of “The Test,” 
under which it was 
introduced.
