314 POPULAR FRUIT GROWING. 



Pears On account of the prevalence and great destructiveness of 

 pear blight in Iowa, pear culture is precarious in all parts of the 

 state. The varieties named below have shown a good degree of 

 hardiness and resistance to blight in some localities in Iowa: 

 Fluke, Bloodgood, Warner, Seckel, Flemish Beauty, Bezi de la 

 Motte, Longworth, Kieffer. Anjou. 



Peaches Because of their lack of hardiness peaches are seldom 

 fruited north of central Iowa and only the hardier varieties can 

 be recommended for planting in any portion of the state. The 

 varieties named below are among the best of those which have 

 been fruited successfully in different portions of central and south- 

 ern Iowa: Sneed, Greensboro, Champion, Lone Tree, Russell, Hill
