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 other 

 and where these two varieties are being planted anotliei 

 variety should be added. Duchess and Flemish Beautj 

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

 fore good pollinating varieties. We shall be glad to give 

 detailed information upon request.
