Duchesse d'Angouleme : Large greenish yellow, 

 sometimes reaching huge size; will average better 

 than three-quarters of a pound. The quality, despite 

 its size, is splendid. 



Seckel : Small in size, but renowned for exquisite 

 flavor — being probably the most universally ad- 

 mired of all. 



Beurre Superfine : October, medium size, excellent 

 quality. 



Bartlett : The best known of all pears, and a uni- 

 versal favorite. Succeeds in nearly all sections. 



Anjou : One of the best keepers, and very pro- 

 ductive. One of the best in flavor, rich and vinous. 



For trees of the standard type the following are 

 worthy of note : 



Congress (Souvenir du C.) : A very large sum- 

 mer sort. Handsome. 



Belle Lucrative : September to October. 



Winter Nelis : Medium size, but of excellent 

 quality and the longest keeper. 



Kieffer: Very popular for its productiveness, 

 strength of growth and exceptional quality of fruit 

 for canning and preserving. Large fruit, if kept 

 thinned. Should have a place in every home 

 garden. 



Josephine de Malines : Not a great yielder but 

 of the very highest quality, being of the finest tex- 

 ture and tempting aroma.
