PEARS 



Bear Large Crops of Delicious Fruit 



Bartlett — best pear grown, always 

 popular — most popular variety 



BARTLETT 



Finest Pear Grown 

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

 A golden-colored pear, with a red cheek on 

 most specimens. Bartlett mellows and is ex- 

 cellent for eating very early in the fall, yet 

 when picked a week before it is ripe and prop- 

 erly 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. 



Bears Early 



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 especially well with high culture. 



Fancy Fruits — Bring 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 way that you pack apples. Pears are 

 sometimes packed in peach carriers, and sell to 

 good advantage. Plain fruit can be sold with- 

 out wrapping, in small baskets or boxes. 



SECKEL. A beautiful and delicious little pear, 

 known everywhere and an old-time favorite; skin 

 yellowish brown with deep brownish red cheek; 

 flesh very fine grained, sweet; one of the richest 

 and highest flavored pears grown. Tree rather 

 dwarf, slow, but stout and erect, bears prolific 

 crops. 



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

 greenish yellow, spotted russet, flesh white, rich, 

 buttery, juicy; excellent flavor. Tree somewhat 

 dwarf, but a most dependable bearer. Profitable 

 commercial pear. 



KIEFFER. Fruit large to very large; skin yellow, 

 with light vermilion cheek. Flesh brittle, very 

 juicy. Most popular canning pear. Keeps well. 



Worden-Seckel. A seedling of Seckel, equal in 

 quality and productiveness, but decidedly su- 

 perior in size, color and form. 



QUINCES 



The fruit is much sought after for canning, pre- 

 serving and for jellies. It gives a delicious flavor 

 to the apple, cooking in any manner. They should 

 be planted ten to sixteen feet apart on deep, rich 

 soil. 

 Champion. Late, very large fine quality, long 



keeper. 

 Orange. Late, large, bright yellow, excellent flavor, 



productive, and rarely fails to produce a crop.
