 flavor. Tree vigorous, hardy, prolific bearer. 



Duchess (Duchess d'Angouleme). Very large, dull greenish 

 yellow, spotted russet, flesh white, rich, buttery, juicy; ex- 

 cellent flavor. Tree somewhat dwarf, but a most dependable 

 bearer. Profitable commercial pear. 



KIEFFER. Fruit large to very large; skin yellow, with light 

 Vermillion cheek. Flesh brittle, very juicy. Most popular 

 canning pear. Keeps well. 



Garber. Extra large, even larger than Kieffer; poor flavor, 

 but excellent for canning. Tree is hardy, strong grower; bears 

 at an early age, producing large crops. Garber is good pollinizer 

 for Kieffer as well as other varieties.

 where and an old-time favorite; skin yellowish brown with deep 

 brownish red cheek; flesh very fine grained, sweet; one of the

The value of this fruit is being more and more appreciated 

 by the people who really have become acquainted with it. On 

 the leading markets during the past few years Pears have been 

 bringing good prices. If growers would specialize in this fruit 

 they would be well repaid for their efforts as high prices are always 

 obtainable for choice pears. This year we have a large supply 

 of first-class trees in all the leading varieties, in fact these trees 

 are among the finest we ever grew. All our pear trees are budded 

 on whole root blight proof seedlings.

Summer Pears 



BARTLETT. Large, rich golden yellow, with a light red blush 

 when ripe; buttery, juicy, melting, with a very rich, pleasing 

 flavor. Bartlett is without a peer, having won an international 

 reputation as the best and the most profitable commercial pear 

 and also the finest home orchard variety. Bartlett pears, when 

 properly grown and packed in boxes, bushels and half-bushel 

 baskets, are most attractive, and find a steady, ready demand 

 with highest prices on the markets. Excellent for fresh eating 

 and unsurpassed for canning. An old favorite. 



CLAPP'S FAVORITE (Clapp). Very large, long, lemon- 

 vellow with brown dots; richly flushed with russet-red on sunny 

 side; fine texture, melting, buttery, juicy, with a rich, sweet, 

 delicate, vinous flavor. Thrives where other varieties fail. 

 Tree hardy and very productive.
