NEW FALL PEAR, LADY CLAPP. (Reduced.; 



New Winter Pear, Dorset. 



Another seedling raised by the late Lemuel Clapp. It is a very handsome and sho\^'y late-keeping 

 pear. Large, golden yellow ground, with bright red on sunny side ; flesh juicy, melting, s\\'eet, of good 

 quality. Keeps and ships well and is a valuable late pear. Ripe in February, but keeps in perfection 

 till May. We exhibited beautiful specimens of it at the World's Fair in May, 1893. Tree a vigorous 

 grower. $1.00. 



New Winter Pear, Fred Baudry. 



A large, handsome, fine-flavored, late winter pear. Size medium to large ; oblong pyriform ; color 

 yellow, with occasional blotches of russet ; flesh yellow, tender, buttery, juicy, slightly gritty at core, 

 solid and no evidence of rot; quality very good to best, a distinct flavor. Ripe a little after Josephine 

 of Malines. A valuable late winter pear. $1.00. 



New Winter Pear, Olivier Des Serres. 



A valuable late-keeping winter pear, ripening about the same time as the Josephine of Malines, and 

 perhaps keeping longer, say till first of March. The fruit is of good size, roundish, averaging larger 

 than Josephine. Flesh tender, juicy, melting; flavor distinct, excellent. In quality it ranks as very 

 good to best. As the number of late-keeping, high-flavored pears is not large, this variety will be 

 received favorably. $1.00. 



New Winter Pear, P. Barry. 



One of the long-keeping Fox seedlings. Large, pyriform ; skin orange yello\\', covered with russet 

 dots and blotches; flesh very juicy, buttery, fine grained; flavor sprightly, rich, excellent. The best 

 late winter pear. Resembles Anjou in texture of flesh and Winter Nelis in color of skin and juiciness 

 of flesh. Tree a poor grower and must be top-grafted. Ripe in April. We also exhibited fine specimens 

 of this pear at the World's Fair latter part of May. This variety was offered for sale on fruit stands in 

 New York city as late as June last year. $1.00. 



The Santa Cruz Sziry, published in Santa Cruz, Cal., speaking of late winter pears, says that the Easter Beurre 

 which up to this time has been regarded as the most valuable late pear, is to be superseded by the new pear 

 P. Barry, named after the late Rochester pomologist. The Barry is the longest keeping pear of good quality that 

 is known at present. It is fit to eat as late as May, and keeps till that time with ordinary care, its fine quality 

 unimpaired.
