Kieffer Pear trees in Tonoloway Orchards, Hancock, Md., along the driveways—all from 
Harrison’s Nurseries. : 
PEARS, continued 
Kieffer, Large to very large; skin yellow with a light vermilion cheek; 
flesh brittle, very juicy, with a marked musky aroma; good 
quality. It is unfortunate that the merits of this Pear have become under- 
estimated because of the haste in which it has been hurried to market in 
an immature condition by some growers and often before it has attained 
the proper size. When allowed to hang upon the trees until in October, 
and then carefully ripened in a cool, dark room, there are few Pears which 
are more attractive. Combines extreme juiciness with a sprightly subacid 
flavor and the peculiar aroma of the Bartlett. Large fruit-growers are 
planting whole orchards of it. Should be thinned. Ninety per cent Kieffer 
and ten per cent Le Conte or Garber trees should be the arrangement in 
every orchard, to secure the pollination necessary for producing large 
crops from Kieffer. Plant the Kieffer orchard and leave spaces for the 
other trees to be planted as pollenizers. Le Conte or Garber trees grow fast 
and bloom profusely at a very early age.
