THIS fine, new 

 American Pear 

 originated in 

 Washington 

 County, New 

 Y ork, and is 

 very productive, 

 russe t- yellow 

 when ripe, thin 

 skin, flesh white, 

 juicy, buttery, 

 flavor neither 

 sweet nor sour, 

 ten days after the 

 Bartlett, as good 

 a bearer and bet- 

 ter fruit, smooth, 

 does not crack 

 nor canker. 



This pear has 

 shipping prop- 

 erties which the 

 Bartlett does not 

 possess. It can 

 be sent to Lon- 

 don without dif- 

 ficulty; its beau- 

 tiful appearance, 



proper size, and fine quality will place it, in a European market, in advance 



of any pear known in this country. 



The undersigned have tested the good qualities of this advance in new and 



useful acquisition. Every man should have a tree of this variety growing, and all 



fruit-raisers should plant it for profit and family use.
