 Specialty 



For home, for canning, for market, the best. A golden colored pear, with red cheek. 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, juicy. One of the finest pears that grows to eat 

 raw. 



KIEFFER — Easy to Grow 



RICH GOLDEN YELLOW— Tinted Red 



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

 ore vigorous, exceptionally hardy and thrive on varied soils 

 in any climate. Kieffer is the only pear that can be success- 

 fully grown in such southern states as Alabama, Mississippi, 

 Louisiana, etc., and yet it is the leading commercial pear in 

 Canada. Kieffer is blight-resistant, and can be successfully 

 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 to have as good flavor as other 

 varieties.

Fancy Bartlett Brings Highest Prices. Bartlett 

 pears always sell on the market 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 carefully 

 sorted and graded, wrapped in tissue paper, and 

 arranged in the container practically the same 

 V way that you pack apples.
