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 another 
variety should be added. Duchess and Flemish Beauty 
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. 
PLEASE NOTE 
Most all Pears should be picked from tree before act- 
tually ripe and put in a cool (60° to 70°), shaded or dark 
They will be more juicy, sweet-
