Photogrraph showing metliod of grafting 

 on Old Home trees. Notice the distance 

 from trunk and the well formed scaffold 

 produced by the scion. Varieties grafted 

 on blight resistant stock will revive the 

 Pear industry in sections now unable to 

 grow pears on account of fire blight. 



READ OF THE NEW DEVOE PEAR ON PAGE 23 



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 pollinate each 

 ether 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 request. 



WAITE PEAR 



BARTLETT 



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 cooking and 

 canning and fairly good for dessert purposes. The tree is 

 rather slender, willowly grower and of moderate vigor.

EWART PEAR 



One of the better fall pears found 

 in the orchards of Mortimer Ewart. 

 East Akron, Ohio. 



The tree is a willowy grower but quite resistant to blight, 

 bears young and annually. The fruit is remarkable for its 

 large size and good quality. 



It is greenish yellow, netted with russet, and has a fine, 

 melting, tender, juicy flesh. It ripens a month later than 

 Bartlett. 



OLD HOME BLIGHT RESISTANT PEAR 



Old Home has proved highly resistant to blight in all forms 

 and is recommended as an intermediate or understock for pear 

 varieties subject to Blight. Those engaged in breeding work 

 covering many years have proved the merits of Old Home to 

 blight resistance. Old Home is the only pear understock 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 ether pear trees.

" ORIENT PEAR (Blight Resistant) 



A new introduction from Tennessee Experiment Station 

 which has proved to be blight and leaf spot resistant 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. Recommend- 

 ed for trial planting in all areas where fire blight is pre- 

 valent.
