Bountiful Ridge Pear Trees do satisfy. If you are interested in quantities 

 larger than those listed, please write for our best prices. We want you to 

 plant vigorous, hardy. Bountiful Ridge grown trees. 



NOTE — Most l*ear varieties are eelf-unfriiitful anil should tlierefore be inter- 

 planted with other varieties to produce consistent crops. It should be noted, 

 liowever, that Seckel and Bartlett will not cross pollinate each other and where 

 these two varieties are being planted another variety should be added. Duchess 

 and Flemish Beauty are the most self-fruitful of those we list and are therefore 

 good pollinating varieties. We shall be glad to give detailed information upon re- 

 quest.

NEW IMPROVED BARTLETT 



We are pleased 

 customers. Many o 

 years as Cathell. 



Improved Bartlett is similar in growth habit and fruit to the 

 regular Bartlett. It bears young and heavy with well shaped and 

 flavorful fruits. 



Most important is the fact that this fine variety has never 

 had pear blight in the years we have had it growing here. The 

 parent tree is still thriving near Allen, Md., and it, too, has never 

 had pear blight. While this new variety looks very encouraging 

 and should be tried extensively, we cannot guarantee it to be 

 blight proof. Growing conditions, tree vigor and planting site 

 could possibly alter its fine record.
