ROSTIEZER. 



A small unattractive looking pear, of very high quality. It is the best of its season 

 in quality for dessert purposes, and should have a place in the home garden. What the 

 Seckel is in October, this pear is in August. The pear sells far below its value on 

 account of its ordinary appearance.
