  CLAPP'S 
  FAVORITE 
  (3001) 
  A 
  large, 
  fine 
  pear 
  that 
  

   resembles 
  Bartlett 
  except 
  that 
  it 
  is 
  much 
  longer. 
  Fruits 
  

   are 
  colored 
  a 
  pale 
  lemon-yellow 
  with 
  brown 
  dots. 
  They 
  

   have 
  fine 
  texture; 
  are 
  melting, 
  buttery, 
  juicy, 
  and 
  

   delicately 
  flavored. 
  Trees 
  are 
  hardy 
  and 
  productive. 
  

  

  MOONGLOW 
  (3002) 
  A 
  large, 
  early-ripening 
  pear 
  

  

  which 
  is 
  promising 
  for 
  processing 
  and 
  market 
  use. 
  It 
  is 
  

   picking 
  mature 
  from 
  10 
  days 
  to 
  two 
  weeks 
  ahead 
  of 
  

   Bartlett 
  and 
  will 
  ripen 
  to 
  prime 
  eating 
  quality 
  15 
  to 
  

   18 
  days 
  later. 
  Fruits 
  are 
  attractive, 
  nearly 
  free 
  of 
  grit 
  

   cells, 
  rather 
  soft 
  and 
  moderately 
  juicy. 
  Flavor 
  is 
  rated 
  

   as 
  good. 
  

  

  Trees 
  of 
  Moonglow 
  are 
  vigorous, 
  very 
  upright, 
  heavily 
  

   spurred, 
  and 
  bear 
  early. 
  Abundant 
  pollen 
  is 
  present. 
  

   Moonglow 
  is 
  very 
  resistant 
  to 
  fire 
  blight. 
  

  

  FLEMISH 
  BEAUTY 
  (3003) 
  A 
  large, 
  juicy, 
  melting 
  and 
  

   rich 
  variety 
  that 
  doubles 
  as 
  an 
  excellent 
  pollinator. 
  

   Trees 
  are 
  hardy, 
  strong 
  growers, 
  and 
  good 
  bearers; 
  they 
  

   prefer 
  sunny 
  locations. 
  

  

  BARTLETT 
  (3004) 
  The 
  standard 
  by 
  which 
  all 
  other 
  

   pears 
  are 
  judged. 
  It 
  has 
  large 
  size, 
  golden 
  yellow 
  color, 
  

   and 
  tremendous 
  quality. 
  It 
  is 
  equally 
  popular 
  on 
  the 
  

   fresh 
  market 
  and 
  with 
  the 
  processors. 
  Fruits 
  are 
  buttery, 
  

   very 
  juicy, 
  and 
  highly 
  flavored. 
  Trees 
  are 
  strong 
  growers, 
  

   bear 
  early 
  and 
  abundantly. 
  Bartlett 
  is 
  moderately 
  sus- 
  

   ceptible 
  to 
  fire 
  blight 
  and 
  should 
  be 
  planted 
  where 
  this 
  

   disease 
  is 
  not 
  too 
  severe.

  IMPROVED 
  BARTLETT 
  (3005) 
  A 
  "local 
  find" 
  that 
  is 
  

  

  similar 
  in 
  growth 
  habit 
  and 
  fruit 
  to 
  regular 
  Bartlett. 
  It- 
  

   bears 
  young 
  and 
  heavily, 
  with 
  well-shaped 
  and 
  flavorful 
  

   fruits. 
  Most 
  important 
  is 
  that 
  this 
  fine 
  variety 
  has 
  had 
  

   pear 
  blight 
  only 
  once 
  in 
  all 
  the 
  years 
  we 
  have 
  grown 
  

   it. 
  Then, 
  the 
  blight 
  was 
  purposely 
  induced 
  by 
  overfeed- 
  

   ing, 
  and 
  the 
  cankers 
  did 
  not 
  go 
  beyond 
  the 
  soft 
  new 
  

   wood. 
  Our 
  tree 
  recovered 
  nicely 
  and 
  is 
  continuing 
  to 
  

   produce 
  fine 
  crops. 
  We 
  think 
  this 
  is 
  a 
  fine 
  new 
  variety 
  

   and 
  want 
  you 
  to 
  try 
  it, 
  but 
  we 
  cannot 
  guarantee 
  it 
  

   blight-proof 
  because 
  growing 
  conditions, 
  tree 
  vigor, 
  and 
  

   planting 
  site 
  could 
  alter 
  its 
  fine 
  record. 
  

  

  DEVOE 
  (3007) 
  A 
  real 
  good 
  variety 
  that 
  is 
  popular 
  and 
  

   profitable, 
  especially 
  in 
  eastern 
  pear-growing 
  areas. 
  

   Devoe 
  most 
  nearly 
  resembles 
  Beurre 
  Bosc 
  in 
  shape. 
  

   It 
  has 
  a 
  rich 
  appearance, 
  large 
  size, 
  and 
  delicious 
  flavor. 
  

   Devoe 
  brings 
  highest 
  prices 
  on 
  fresh 
  markets 
  every- 
  

   where 
  and 
  is 
  excellent 
  canned. 
  

  

  Fruits 
  are 
  borne 
  in 
  profusion 
  at 
  an 
  early 
  age 
  on 
  very 
  

   vigorous 
  and 
  strong 
  trees. 
  A 
  golden 
  yellow 
  color, 
  high- 
  

   lighted 
  with 
  a 
  pretty 
  red 
  cheek, 
  covers 
  the 
  long 
  fruits 
  

   as 
  harvest 
  time 
  approaches. 
  The 
  flesh 
  is 
  firm, 
  white, 
  

   lacking 
  in 
  grit 
  cells, 
  juicy 
  and 
  sweet. 
  When 
  picked 
  at 
  

   proper 
  stage 
  of 
  maturity, 
  Devoe 
  will 
  keep 
  well 
  in 
  cold 
  

   storage 
  until 
  January 
  and 
  later. 
  Proper 
  picking 
  time 
  is 
  

   about 
  a 
  week 
  later 
  than 
  Bartlett. 
  

  

  The 
  tree 
  is 
  upright 
  in 
  habit; 
  wood 
  is 
  whippy 
  and 
  

   bears 
  a 
  good 
  fruit 
  load 
  without 
  breakage. 
  It 
  is 
  very 
  re- 
  

   sistant 
  to 
  pear 
  psylla. 
  

  

  Devoe 
  is 
  a 
  good 
  Blight-Resistant 
  variety. 
  However, 
  

   Blight 
  Resistance 
  in 
  no 
  way 
  implies 
  that 
  the 
  variety 
  will 
  

   be 
  completely 
  free 
  of 
  fire 
  blight, 
  regardless 
  of 
  the 
  cul- 
  

   tural 
  practices 
  used. 
  Devoe 
  is 
  a 
  fine, 
  vigorous 
  grower 
  and 
  

   needs 
  little 
  fertilization, 
  no 
  constant 
  cultivation 
  or 
  ex- 
  

   tensive 
  pruning 
  for 
  good 
  results. 
  

  

  MAGNESS 
  (3008) 
  A 
  very 
  blight-resistant, 
  new 
  vari- 
  

   ety 
  that 
  is 
  picking 
  mature 
  about 
  a 
  week 
  later 
  than 
  Bartlett. 
  

   The 
  fruit 
  is 
  lightly 
  covered 
  with 
  russet, 
  medium 
  in 
  

   size, 
  and 
  generally 
  oval 
  in 
  shape. 
  The 
  flesh 
  is 
  soft, 
  very 
  

   juicy, 
  almost 
  free 
  of 
  grit 
  cells, 
  sweet, 
  highly 
  perfumed, 
  

   and 
  aromatic. 
  The 
  skin 
  is 
  tough 
  and 
  resists 
  insect 
  

   injury. 
  Magness 
  can 
  be 
  held 
  up 
  to 
  three 
  months 
  in 
  cold 
  

   storage 
  and 
  ripen 
  with 
  good 
  quality. 
  

  

  Trees 
  are 
  very 
  vigorous, 
  spreading, 
  and 
  sometimes 
  

   thorny. 
  They 
  begin 
  bearing 
  at 
  about 
  six 
  years. 
  Magness 
  

   is 
  entirely 
  pollen-sterile 
  and 
  must 
  be 
  pollinated 
  with 
  

   some 
  other 
  variety 
  for 
  good 
  set. 
  Blight 
  resistance 
  is 
  

   extremely 
  high.
