 a good keeper in past years. 



Devoe A large attractive pear of oblong-pyrtform shape. The fruit is a 



clear yellow, often with a blush red cheek. The quality has been 

 good and the yield very satisfactory. The fruit repened very 

 unevenly this past fall.

yellow color. The fruit is of good quality, ripening in October 



and keeping in storage to December. An evatuation as to productivity 



cannot be made at this time. 



Dumont 



New York 4885 



A late ripening pear of medium to large size and obtuse-pyriform 

 shape. The flesh is firm and juicy and the quality is very good. 

 The skin tended to discolor in storage and this detracted from its 

 appearance. This variety has been productive in our planting. 



This selection resulted from a Bartlett x Ewart cross. It is 

 somewhat similar to Bartlett. The fruit was picked two weeks 

 later than Bartlett and keeps better than Bartlett. The quality 

 is inferior to Bartlett.
