PEAR TREES 



OLD HOME 



Old Home has proved highly resistant to blight in all 

 forms and is recommended as an intermediate or under- 

 stock for pear varieties subject to Blight. Those engaged 

 in breeding w^ork co\'ering many years have proved the 

 merits of Old Home to blight resistance. Plant Old Home 

 trees in your orchard and graft to varieties wanted. 



SECKEL Small, rich, yellowish -brown; one of the best 

 flavored pears known; ver>' productive. September and 

 October. Blight resistant and a general favorite in every 

 home planting. 



CLAPP'S FAVORITE a large, fine pear, resembling 

 the Bartlett; pale lemon-yellow with brown dots and a 

 fine texture; melting, buttery, juicy, with a delicate flavor; 

 tree hardy and productive. August and September. 



KEIFER Grown in all sections of the U. S. and Canada. 

 The tree is practically immune to blight, very thrifty and 

 bears constant, heavy crops. The fruit is large to very 

 large, golden yellow often blushed, juicy. 



EWART PEAR The tree is a willowy grower but 

 quite resistant to blight, bears young and annually. The 

 fruit is remarkable for its large size and quality. It is 

 greenish yellow, netted with russet, and has a fine melting, 

 tender, juicy fiesh. It ripens a month later than Bartlett. 



MANNING ELIZABETH Among the best of our sum- 

 mer pears for home use or markets. The fruits are of hand- 

 some appearance and distinctive flavor. The tree is hardy, 

 vigorous, productive, resistant to blight and bears early 

 and annually. 



IMPROVED BARTLETT U 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 \'ei-y encouraging and should be tried ex- 

 tensively, we cannot guarantee it to be blight proof. 

 Growing conditions, tree vigor and planting site could 

 possibly alter its fine record. 



PLEASE NOTE — Most all Pears should be picked from 

 tree before actually ripe and put in a cool (60 to 70 de- 

 gree), shaded or dark place to finish ripening. They will 

 be more juicy, sweeter and beautiful.

BUERRE BOSC Greatly esteemed. A large yellow pear;

 lows it to sway in hea\-y winds without dropping. Trees 

 slow growers, but most productive; keeps until Christmas. 



ORIENT PEAR The trees are large, vigorous, and re- 

 quires little prunning to produce good yields. Blooms sev- 

 eral days later than Keiffer. Fruit ripens late August and 

 averages large. Flesh is creamy white with good texture, 

 mild in flavor. The fruit keeps well in storage. 



NOTE — Most Pear varieties are self-unfruitful and 

 should be interplanted with other varieties. It should be 

 noted that Seckel and Bartlett will not cross pollinate each 

 other and where these tivo varieties are being planted 

 another variety should be added. Duchess and Flemish 

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

 good pollinating varieties. We shall be glad to give de- 

 tailed information upon request.
