thusiasm accorded the announcement of the new Devoe Pear 



The Devoe Pear was found some 25 years ago on the farm of Mr. 

 Charles Greiner, Marlboro, N. Y., as a chance seedling. Being attracted 

 to the healthy appearance of the foliage and sturdy wood of the little tree 

 he waited and matched for it to come into fruiting age. Much to his 

 delight it bore at the age of 3 years, producing a fine large type fruit. 

 shaped much like Buerre Bosc, having a fine smooth skin which as the 

 fruit ripened, turned from green to light yellow, with an attractive red 

 cheek. It was found to have superb quality and a delightful pear taste, 

 the flesh is white, firm and lacks grit cells. It is very juicy and sweet. 

 Tests covering several years proved it to be a long keeper and may be 

 kept in cold storage until February if desired. Its season is late Septem- 

 ber. Very resistant to pear Psylla. 



The tree is a rapid grower, upright in habit, wood is whippy and bears 

 fruit load without breakage. So far it has not shown itself subject to 

 blight even under southern conditions. We recommend the Devoe Pear 

 for trial in all pear growing sections. Devoe has passed the experimental 

 period. ITS A REALITY. PLANT DEVOE PEAR FOR GREATER 

 PROFITS. 



As Devoe begins to bear in widely distributed areas it shows its real value and promises to become a leader of 

 commercial pears. Each succeeding year justifies our confidence in this pear. See cover page for color illustration.

is of large size, smooth skin, fine red color, and excellent 

 quality, with winey flavor which is particularly pleasing. 



RPFir^HIFF A recent introduction Ijv the Virginia Ex- 

 ru-ij>^ni£jr periment Station which from observation 

 and reports gives promise of being one of the best of our 

 white fleshed Nectarines. Fruits are good size, highly color- 

 ed and freestone, with very pleasing flavor. Trees are thrifty 

 and productive with fruits showing marked resistance to 

 brown-rot. Redchief should be considered in every planting 

 of Nectarines. Ripens 13 days before Elberta. 



CAVALIER 



A recent introduction by Virginia Ex- 

 periment Station which gives promise of 

 replacing some of our yellow Beshed Nectarines. Cavalier is 

 more highly colored than Redchief, not quite as large but 

 good size, fine yellow flesh of very good quality and seems 

 to have marked resistance to brown-rot. The tree is vigor- 

 ous and productive. Ripens 8 days before Elberta. 



-RFFiRTTF) Formerly tested as V.P.I. 47n, Redbtid is 

 I\Lj1sij\J1s white fleshed, average size, freestone, and 

 ripens about 27 days before Elberta. The skin is a good 

 bright red with smooth finish and highly attractive. The 

 flesh is above average in firmness, medium in texture, with 

 good quality. The trees are of average vigor and produce 

 heavy sets of buds. They are highly resistant to brown rot 

 when the standard peach spray schedule is followed. The 

 buds are more tolerant to late frosts than Redchief but 

 slightly less than those of Cavalier. 



LEXINGTON 



Is a yellow fleshed nectarine, formerly 

 tested as V.P.I. 34n. It ripens about 17 

 days before Elberta with average sized fruits about 2" in 

 diameter and distinctly ovate in shape. The skin is deep 

 yellow overlaid with red giving an attractive appearance. The 

 flesh is of medium texture, free from the pit, and its flavor 

 is comparable to Cavalier. Like Redchief, Cavalier, and 

 Redbud. Lexington is also highly resistant to brown rot 

 when the regular peach spray schedule is used. The trees 

 are highly vigorous and set a large amount of fruit buds 

 which are relatively hardy from late frosts.
