DEVOE PEAB 



1 Year Pear Tree "Bountifully Grown" 



ANJOU — Beurre d'AnjOU (3010) A large, fine pear 

 that is buttery and melting, with a sprightly flavor. The tree 

 is a fine grower, very productive, and an early bearer; one of 

 our best varieties for the home and orchard trade. Anjou is 

 partially resistant to fire blight. 



BEURRE BOSC (3011) A large pear colored a 'dark, 

 rich yellow overspread with a cinnamon russet. Flesh is 

 white, rich, tender, very juicy, and with pleasing aroma. 

 Quality is very good, Seckel alone surpassing it as a dessert 

 fruit. Trees are slow growers and do not bear at an early age, 

 but are large and most productive at maturity. They are 

 blight susceptible. 



DUCHESSE D'ANGOULEME (3012) A very large, 

 greenish yellow pear that is the favorite of many home 

 gardeners. Trees grow equally well on standard or dwarf 

 roots, making beautifully symmetrical trees that bear early 

 and annual crops of fine fruits. Fruits are buttery, melting, 

 and of fine flavor. 



WORDEN SECKEL (3013) A Seckel type pear that is 

 larger and more handsome than Seckel. Fruits are smooth, 

 glossy, uniform, with a good blushed cheek on a handsome 

 yellow background. They keep longer than Seckel. A hardy 

 tree that bears when young. 



SECKEL (3014) A small, rich yellowish brown pear 

 that is one of the best flavored ones known. Seckel is very 

 productive, somewhat blight resistant, and easy to grow. It 

 is the all-time favorite for home planting. 



ORIENT (3015) A good blight-resistant variety for 

 southern growers. The trees are large, vigorous, productive, 

 and require little pruning. Fruit is firm, juicy, slightly 

 sweet, and nearly round. Its creamy white flesh has good 

 texture and cans well. 



KIEFFER (3016) Grown in all sections of the United 

 States and Canada, the tree is practically immune to blight, 

 very thrifty in growth, and bears consistently heavy crops. 

 Fruits are large, colored golden yellow, juicy, often gritty, 

 and of poor quality for fresh use. They are quite good for 

 culinary purposes, however, and keep well into the winter. 



HELPFUL HINT: Most pear varieties are self- 

 unfruitful and should be interplanted with other var- 

 ieties. Seckel and Bartlett will not cross-pollinate each 

 other and where these two varieties are being planted, 

 another variety should be added. Duchesse and 

 Flemish Beauty are the best pollinating varieties. 



FIG TREES 



HEALTHY— EASY TO GROW 

 — DELICIOUS 



EVERBEARING TYPE (6101) Characteristics similar 

 to the Brown Turkey, otherwise it starts to bear early in the 

 season and continues to bear fruit into late fall. This variety 

 is very attractive as to bush and is used much for ornamen- 

 tal purposes. 



CELESTE (61 02) Most widely planted of all figs in the 

 southeastern fig areas. It is hardy and can be grown where 

 less hardy varieties fail. Fruit is medium in size, skin violet, 

 flesh white to rose color, firm, juicy, sweet and of excellent 

 quality. 



BROWN TURKEY (6103) Very hardy, dwarfish and 

 prolific. Fruit medium size to large, pear shaped, skin cop- 

 per brown, flesh white shading to pink, quality good. 



MAGNOLIA FIG (6104) One of the hardiest species, 

 doing well where the winters are not too severe. Fruit very 

 large and of rich straw color. Fruit begins to ripen the last of 

 June.
