Angouleme (Dachess) — Introduced over a hun- 

 dred years ago from France, this is more general- 

 ly grown throughout New York than any other, 

 and deservedly more popular than most other 

 kinds. The fruits are of magnificent size, rather 

 irregularly shaped at times, but always of most 

 delightful flavor, melting and delicious. 

 Anjou — Late autumn. Green with red cheek; 

 high quality, juicy and melting; strong-growing 

 tree, prolific. 



Bartlett — Summer. Yellow; the most widely 

 grown and the most popular of all varieties. 

 When fertilized freely this variety has an in- 

 clination to blight; does best when grown in sod. 

 Clapp's Favorite — Early summer. Green with red 

 cheek; large, juicy, melting; prolific; decays 

 quickly when ripe. 



DOUGLAS PEAR — A remarkable new Pear that 

 is heralded everywhere as the finest of Pears. 

 Here is a BLIGHT-FREE PEAR— in which is 

 COMBINED the best qualities of all leading va- 

 rieties — with the drawbacks of none. It bears 

 even more profusely than the Kieffer. It begins 

 to bear at an earlier age than any other Pear on 

 earth and ripens in the late fall. It ranks with 

 the best in shape, size and coloring. In flavor it 

 excels others — rich, melting, sweet, juicy, tender 

 — altogether delicious. 



/ 



Remarkably hardy and vigorous, does not re- 

 quire rich soil or close attention and care. Sturdy, 

 two-year-old trees, each, ^2.00; dozen, ^20.00. 

 Kieffer — Autumn. Yellow, with red cheek; 

 coarse grained and of rather inferior quality, 

 though it can be kept until mid-winter, and when 

 thoroughly ripe is very good. Perhaps the most 

 extensively grown of all winter varieties. Used 

 largely for canning. 



Seckel — Very prolific. Though rather small, it 

 is of extremely high quality. Ripens late in 

 summer and is a dull red with much russet. Con- 

 sidered by many the acme of perfection in Pear 

 quality.
