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. 



NOTE — Most Pear varieties are self-unfruitful and should there- 

 fore 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 

 another variety should be added. Duchess and Flemish Beauty are 

 the most self-fruitful of those we list and are therefore good polli- 

 nating varieties. We shall be glad to give detailed information upon 

 request. 



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 reistance. 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.

BARTLETT

any grafted trees in our nursery. 



WAITE PEAR 



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, wil- 

 lowly grower and of moderate vigor.
