ELL W ANGER & BARRY'S 



SUMMER PEARS. 



Andre Desportes— Medium size; pale green, marbled on sunny side with red. Flesh fine, juicy, melting. A valu- 

 able early pear. Tree a free grower as a standard or dwarf. Ripe in August. 75c. 



Ansaiilt— Medium size ; light greenish yellow, mostly covered with a thin light russet ; melting, juicy and very fine 

 grained ; one of the finest in quality of all pears. Tree a poor grower ; needs top grafting in order to obtain 

 good standard trees. Bears when quite young. September. 75c. 



Bartlett— One of the most popular pears ; large ; buttery and melting, with a rich musky flavor. A vigorous, erect 

 grower ; bears young and abundantly. Middle to last of September. 50c. 



*Brandywine— Medium size ; yellow and russet ; melting, juicy ; first-rate. Afree grower and productive. August, 

 50c. 



*Clapp's Favorite— A splendid pear, resembling the Bartlett and ripening a few days earlier ; a cross between that 

 variety and the Flemish Beauty : the tree is hardy and vigorous either on the pear or quince. Care should be 



taken to pick the fruit at least ten days before it would ripen upon the tree. 50c. 

 'Dearborn's Seedling— Rather below medium size ; pale yellow; melting and good. Tree a free grower, and bears 



young and profusely. Ripe about the last of August. 50c. 

 Giffard ( Beurre Giffard )— A. beautiful and excellent variety ; ripening middle of August. Tree slender but healthy; 



hardy ; a moderate grower and very productive. 50e. 

 ♦Manning's Elizabeth— Below medium size ; bright yel- 

 low, with a lively red cheek, dotted with brown and 



red dots; flesh juicy and melting. A beautiful des- 

 sert fruit. Tree a moderate grower. 50c. 

 Margaret— (Petite Marguerite). Medium size; skin green- 

 ish yellow, with brownish red cheek, and covered 



with greenish dots. Flesh fine, melting, juicy, vinous- 



and of .first quality. Tree a vigorous, upright grower, 



and an early and abundant bearer. Succeeds admi- 

 rably as a standard or dwarf. The finest pear of its 



season and worthy of special attention. Ripens latter 



part of August. (See cut.) 75c. 

 Souvenir du Congres— Large to very large, larger than 



Bartlett or Clapp's Favorite, to which it bears a 



strong resemblance (we have had specimens which 



weighed 27 ounces and which measured 14 inches in 



circumference) ; skin smooth, bright yellow when the 



fruit is fully matured, with the parts exposed to the 



sun brilliant red or carmine. The flesh, while it is 



like that of the Bartlett, is free from its strong musky 



aroma, and is firm t o the core. It commences to ripen 



in August, a little before the Bartlett, and extends 



into September. The tree is a moderate grower, and I 



to obtain good standard and dwarf trees we are 1 



obliged to work it upon strong growing sorts. On 



account of its size, quality and earliness, it is entitled 



to a place among the best pears. 75c. 

 Summer Doyenne (Doyenne d'Ete)— A beautiful, melt- 

 ing sweet pear, rather small. Tree a vigorous grower 



and good bearer. First of August. 50c. 

 ♦Tyson— Rather above medium size ; melting, juicy, sweet 



and pleasant. Tree very vigorous and rapid grower; bears abundantly every year; one of the best summer 



varieties. August. 50c. 



Margaret ( Natural Size) 



AUTUMN PEARS. 



Angouleme (Duchesse d'Angouleme)— One of the largest of all our good pears. Succeeds well on the pear, but it 

 attains its highest perfection on the quince ; as a dwarf it is one of the most profitable market pears. October 

 and November. 50c. 



Belle Lucrative — Large; melting and sweet. A free, upright grower, and bears early and abundantly. September 

 and October. 50c. 



Bosc (Beurre Bosc)— A large and beautiful russety pear ; very distinct, with a long neck ; melting, or nearly so, high 

 flavored and delicious. A moderate grower and rather irregular ; bears well. We top graft in order to get 

 good standard trees. It does not succeed on the quince, and in order to obtain dwarf trees it must be double 

 worked. September to October. 75c. 



Boussock (Doyenne Boussock)— A large pear of good quality, resembling the 'White Doyenne. Tree a very vigor- 

 ous, rapid grower and abundant bearer. This variety is far from being appreciated. We ean recommend it as 

 a valuable market pear. September. 50c. 



Doyenne White— A well known and almost universally esteemed variety of the highest excellence. Tree a vigor- 

 ous grower, productive and hardy ; succeeds best in most parts of the West. 50c. 



Flemish Beauty— A large, beautiful, melting, sweet pear. Tree very hardy, vigorous and fruitful; succeeds well in 

 most parts of the country. September and October. 50c.
