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 breed- 
ing work covering many years have proved the merits of Old 
Home to blight resistance. Old Home is the only pear un- 
derstock which is resistant to blight under any and all con- 
ditions. Plant Old Home trees in your orchard and graft to 
varieties wanted. 
Old Home Blight Resistant Pear Trees are listed under the
