IDAHO PEAR. 
This new pear has been so well described 
and praised up by Testimonials from the most 
prominent Pomologists and Fruit Growers 
in my former Garden Manual that it requires 
no further description here. It is certainly 
one of the most noteworthy of all new varie- 
ties which have lately been introduced. 
Although it originated near Lewiston, Idaho, 
it is like the well-known Le Conte, quite hardy 
in our Southern climate, a vigorous grower, 
and said to be entirely blight proof. 
The fruit is very large and handsome, irregu- 
lar globular, somewhat depressed. The cavity 
of the fruit is very irregular, basin shallow

and pointed; calyx very small and closed; 
core very small; skin golden yellow with 
many russety spots; flesh melting, juicy, with 
a sprightly, vinous, delicious flavor. It 
ripens in September and October. 
Wherever the tree has fruited it proved an 
abundant bearer. In this section it has how- 
ever not fruited yet. This pear is certainly 
worthy of a trial by every person interested 
in raising fine fruit. 
One year old trees, 30c. each, $2.50 per 
dozen; two year old trees, 40c. each, $4.00 
per dozen. 
All cn Le Conte stock.
