List of Pear Varieties 



Anjou (Buerre d'Anjoii). Late fall. Being one of the 

 best known, most popular and profitable late pears. Large, 

 green in color, somewhat yellow when ripe, buttery, melting, 

 rich, vinous, good flavor. Tree vigorous, hardy, prolific 

 bearer. 



Beiirre Bosc (Bosc). Winter. Large size, fine quality, 

 brings highest market prices. 



CliAPP'S FAVORITE (Clapp). Summer. Very large, 

 long, lemon-yellow 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. 



Duchess (Duchesse d'Angouleme). Fall. Very large, 

 dull greenish yellow, spotted russet, flesh white, rich, but- 

 tery, juicy; excellent flavor. Tree somewhat dwarf, but a 

 most dependable bearer. Profitable commercial pear. 



KIEFFER. Fall. Large, handsome appearance, rich, golden 

 yellow, sometimes tinted red on the sunny side; poor flavor; 

 bears largest, most consistent bumper crops. Wonderful 

 keeper and an astounding long distance shipper. Best va- 

 riety grown for export trade; generally packed in barrels. 

 Leading variety grown commercially for Eastern canneries. 

 Tree hardy, very strong grower, bears at an early age, pro- 

 ducing phenomenal crops. Kieffer is a money maker. 



BARTLICTT. Summer. 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. 



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

 flavor, but excellent for canning. Tree is hardy, strong 

 grower; bears at early age; producing large crops. Garber 

 is good pollinizer for Kieffer as well as other varieties. 



Lawrence. Winter. Medium to large; golden yellow, with 

 brown dots, melting; pleasant, aromatic; good quality. Un- 

 surpassed as a winter variety. 



SECKEL. Fall. 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. 



Sheldon. Fall, medium size, flesh slightly coarse, melting, 

 juicy, vinous flavor. 



Worden-Seckel. Fall. A seedling of Seckel, equal in qual- 

 ity and productiveness, but decidedly superior in size, color 

 and form.
