PEARS. 



Plant Standards 20 ft. apart each way — loS trees per acre. Du-arfs 7 to 10 ft. apart. 



Dwarf pears are budded on quince stocks, and although valuable for those who have but limited 

 space for planting, yet are by no means so reliable or productive as standard trees. If planted deep, they 

 will form what are known as "half-standards," which are usually productive and profitable. Dwarf 

 pears must be given high and careful culture and pruned annuallv. 



Standard, first class, 5 to 6 ft., each, 30c.; doz., 13.00; 100.'$15.00. 



Dwarf, first class, 3* too ft., each. 25c.; doz., $2.50; 100. $12.00. 



The varieties ivith the letter D folloiuing the name I can supply both as D-warfs and Standards. 

 They all produce shony fruit and are the kiyids that succeed best upon the quince. 



ROSSNEY PEAR. 



A superb pear; one of the handsomest and best 

 yet produced. It is exceptionally fine in quality, 

 and its large size, perfect form and creamy yellow 

 skin with crimson blush, render it exceedingly 

 beautiful and attractive. The flesh is tender and 

 creamy, with no hard spots, and the core is un- 



usually small; when fully ripe very- juicy and sweet 

 with a superior,flavor. The tree is hardy and pro- 

 ductive, a strong grower. It equals the Bartlett in 

 eyety way, and is especially valuable by reason of 

 its ripening two weeks later. Such a valuable pear 

 is decidedly an acquisition to the home orchard, 

 and will give great profit to market growers. {See 

 illustration, much reduced.^ Fine first-class stand- 

 ards, each, 50c.; doz., $5.00.

 planting in small grounds, furnishing both fruit and 

 shade. Handsome trees, first-class, 50c.; 3 for
