AMERICAN PEARS WITH 

 BLENDED HEREDITIES 



When the types of pears from the 

 Orient and the Occident are crossed, the 

 hybrid offspring show wide variation of 

 form, texture and flavor, particularly 

 in the second and subsequent genera- 

 tions. This picture shows characteristic 

 specimens of such mixed heritage - 

 good material for the development of 

 new varieties.
