and Southern Sections. 
WAITE PEAR 
A NEW PEAR WITH COMMERCIAL POSSIBILITIES 
10 Times More Blight Resistant Than Keiffer. Bartlett 
Shape and Size. Fine Quality, Almost Seedless. 
The fruit resembles that of Bartlett and is about same 
size, ripening after Bartlett and just before Keiffer. The 
flesh is smooth in texture and almost free of grit cells. 
It is more acid than Bartlett but is excellent for cook- 
ing and canning and fairly good for dessert -purposes. 
The tree is rather slender, willowly 
moderate vigor. 
The Waite Pear requires cross pollination for con- 
sistent crops. The fruits are very attractive, having 
good finish, slight blush. Nearly all fruits observed 
were almost seedless, showing extremely small core. 
OVI The fruit is large and resembles Bartlett. The 
flesh is fine grained, tender, nearly white, 
very sweet and good in quality. The tree is a strong 
grower and definitely blight resistant. The Ovid gives 
promise of being one of our best late ripening and 
keeping pears. 
SECKEL Small, rich, yellowish-brown; one of the 
: best flavored pears known; very. produc- 
tive. September and October. Blight resistant and a 
general favorite in every home planting. 
The tree is large, vigorous, upright, 
SHELDO spreading, hardy and productive. The 
fruit while not large is sufficient in size to meet the de- 
mand for a good dessert fruit and no rival in season 
surpasses the Sheldon for appearance or quality. The 
flesh is melting and juicy, sweet, vinous and highly 
perfumed. Keeps well and is a good shipper. Fruit 
matures in October.

the best Pears we have for shipping to distant and 
foreign markets.

ORIENT PEAR (Blight Resistant) 
A new introduction from Tennessee Experiment Sta- 
tion which has proved to be blight and leaf spot resist- 
ant at Knoxville orchards. 
The trees are large, vigorous which grow with open 
centers and require little pruning to produce good 
yields. Blooms several days later than Keiffer. Fruit 
ripens in mid-August at Knoxville and averages large. 
Skin thick, tough and rather rough. Flesh is creamy 
white with good texture, mild in flavor. The fruit 
keeps well in storage. Recommended for trial plant- 
ing in all areas where fire blight is prevalent. 1 year

NOTE—Most Pear varieties are self-unfruitful and 
should therefore be interplanted with other varieties 
to produce consistent crops. It should be noted 
however that Seckel and Bartlett will not cross pol- 
linate each other and where these two varieties are 
being planted another variety should be added. 
Duchess and Flemish Beauty are the most self-fruit- 
ful of those we list and are therefore good pollinat- 
ing varieties. We shall be glad to give detailed in- 
formation upon request.

OLD HOME BLIGHT RESISTANT PEAR 
In listing Old Home Blight Resistant Pear Stock, 
we are mindful of our obligation as nurserymen to 
give the fruit grower the benefit of study and re- 
search. Old Home has proved highly resistant to 
blight in all forms and is recommended as an inter- 
mediate or understock for pear varieties subject to 
Blight. Studies by eminent horticulturists and those 
engaged in breeding work covering many years have 
proved the merits of Old Home to blight resistance. 
From tests we have observed, Old Home is the only 
pear understock which has come to our notice which 
is resistant to blight under any and all conditions. 
Old Home Blight Resistant Pear Trees are listed 
under the same sizes and prices as other pear trees.
