  Bureau 
  of

   developed 
  by 
  Mr. 
  M. 
  B. 
  Waite. 
  The 
  Waite 
  pear, 
  pre- 
  

   viously 
  tested 
  as 
  No. 
  66131 
  is 
  outstanding 
  in 
  blight 
  

   resistance, 
  never 
  developing 
  under 
  severe 
  test 
  condi- 
  

   tions 
  more 
  than 
  10% 
  as 
  much 
  blight 
  as 
  the 
  Keiffer. 
  

   The 
  fruit 
  resembles 
  that 
  of 
  Bartlett 
  and 
  is 
  about 
  same 
  

   size, 
  ripening 
  about 
  same 
  season 
  as 
  Keiffer. 
  The 
  flesh 
  

   is 
  smooth 
  in 
  texture 
  and 
  is 
  almost 
  free 
  of 
  grit 
  cells. 
  

   It 
  is 
  more 
  acid 
  than 
  Bartlett 
  but 
  is 
  excellent 
  for 
  cook- 
  

   ing 
  and 
  canning 
  and 
  fairly 
  good 
  for 
  dessert 
  purposes. 
  

   The 
  tree 
  is 
  rather 
  slender, 
  willowy 
  grower 
  and 
  of 
  mod- 
  

   erate 
  vigor. 
  

  

  The 
  WAITE 
  pear 
  requires 
  cross 
  pollination 
  for 
  con- 
  

   sistant 
  crops. 
  The 
  fruits 
  are 
  very 
  attractive, 
  having 
  

   good 
  finish, 
  slight 
  blush. 
  Nearly 
  all 
  fruits 
  observed 
  

   this 
  year 
  were 
  almost 
  seedless, 
  showing 
  extremely 
  

   small 
  core.

  NOTE 
  — 
  Most 
  Pear 
  varieties 
  are 
  self-unfruitful 
  and 
  

   should 
  therefore 
  be 
  interplanted 
  with 
  other 
  varie- 
  

   ties 
  to 
  produce 
  consistant 
  crops. 
  It 
  should 
  be 
  noted 
  

   however 
  that 
  Seckel 
  and 
  Bartlett 
  will 
  not 
  cross 
  pol- 
  

   linate 
  each 
  other 
  and 
  where 
  these 
  two 
  varieties 
  are 
  

   being 
  planted 
  another 
  variety 
  should 
  be 
  added.

  are 
  the 
  most 
  self-fruit- 
  

   ful 
  of

  we

  are 
  therefore

  The 
  cultivation 
  of 
  Dwarf 
  Pears 
  is 
  very 
  profitable. 
  

   The 
  trees 
  are 
  low-headed 
  and 
  the 
  fruit 
  is 
  easily 
  handl- 
  

   ed 
  and 
  comes 
  into 
  bearing 
  usually 
  the 
  second 
  or 
  third 
  

   year. 
  We 
  recommend 
  the 
  following 
  varieties 
  to 
  be 
  good
