BARTLETT PEAR 



For home, for canning, for market, the best. 

 Ripens during summer. 



A golden-colored pear, with a red cheek on most 

 specimens. Bartlett mellows and is excellent for 

 eating very early in the fall, yet when picked a 

 week before it is ripe, and properly stored, will 

 keep till late. Flavor delicious and musky; flesh 

 buttery, rich and juicy. One of the finest pears 

 that grows, to eat raw. A mingling of the flavor 

 of Bartlett Pear and quince gives about the finest 

 taste of any food this world's folks have. Bartlett 

 trees bear early, produce enormous crops, and are 

 not nearly so subject to damage by insects and 

 disease as some other sorts. The trees do espe- 

 cially well with high culture. 



FANCY BARTLETTS BRING HIGHEST PRICES 



Bartlett Pears always sell on the markets even when other sorts are 

 not in great demand. The fruit is so handsome and appealing that it 

 pays to pack it in fancy containers. Bushels or bushel boxes are best 

 adapted. The fruit ought to be sorted and graded, wrapped in tissue 

 paper, and arranged in the container practically the same way that you 

 pack apples. Pears are sometimes packed in peach carriers, and sell to 

 good advantage. Plain fruit can be sold without wrapping, in small 

 baskets or boxes. 



One or two Bartlett Pear trees in the city yard will furnish a con- 

 siderable amount of fruit; a half dozen will supply the fanajly with 

 fresh fruit and a surplus for preserving. 



KIEFFER — EASY TO GROW 



Of all the pears, Kieffer is the most easily grown. Trees are vigorous, 

 exceptionally hardy and thrive on varied soils in any climate. Kieffer 

 is the only pear that can be successfully grown in such southern states 

 as Alabama, Mississippi, Louisiana, etc., and yet it is the leading com- 

 mercial pear in Canada. Kieffer is blight-resistant, and can be success- 

 fully planted in large orchards. 



This fruit is large to very large size; skin yellow, with light vermilion 

 cheek; flesh yellowish white, very juicy. Noted for being a long time 

 keeper. Most popular canning pear. 



A leading commercial variety. New method of storing enables Kieffer 

 pears +o have as good flavor as other varieties.
