ost popular variety 
and Profitable 
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 lead- 
ing varieties, in fact these trees are among the finest 
We ever grew. All our pear trees are budded on whole 
root blight proof seedlings. = 
Varieties to Plant 
Bartlett is by far the best pear grown for home and 
commercial orchards, it is large and of a highly 
delicious flavor. In planting your orchard be sure to 
plant heavily to Bartlett. Other desirable varieties for 
planting are Clapps, Kieffer and SeckKel. 
Summer Pears 
An orchard of Bartlett pears is a source of abundant 
income. The trees are sturdy, and bear heavy loads 
of delicious fruit Which is easily sold. 
BARTEETS PEAR. For home, for canning, for market, 
the best. 
A golden-colored Pear, with a red cheek on most 
specimens. Bartlett mellows and is excellent for eat- 
ing 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 dam- 
age by insects and disease as some other sorts. The 
trees do especially well with high culture. 
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 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 
re can be sold without wrapping, in small baskets or 
Oxes. 
One or two Bartlett Pear trees in the city yard will 
furnish a considerable amount of fruit; a half dozen will 
supply the family with fresh fruit and a surplus for 
preserving.
