 FERTILITY ... 



Oct. 



Culinary. Large, lemon yellow tinged with orange 

 red. Strong and upright grower. Said to bear 

 profitably in the North. 



Dessert, medium quality. Medium size, pale yellow 

 covered with russet tinged with red. Succeeds in 

 the North. 



Dessert, good quality. Medium size. Greenish yellow 

 with brownish red cheek streaked with red. An 

 excellent bearer where at home, as it is said to be 

 in the North, 



Poor quality dessert, but fairly regular cropper. Often 

 planted as a standard for a windbreak. Too many 

 should not be planted, as it must be marketed just 

 before it is ripe. 



Dessert of good quality. Medium size, and very long 

 necked, yellowish green, much russeted. Growth 

 upright and strong in good soils, but should be 

 grown on pear stock on poorer land. Owing to its 

 regular and heavy cropping powers a popular and 

 reliable market variety. 



Dessert, of good quality, but becomes mealy if kept 

 too long or allowed to ripen completely on the tree. 

 Medium size, shape uneven. Bright yellow with 

 bronze or crimson cheek and deep crimson stripes. 

 Growth moderately strong and upright. Crops well, 

 and is a valuable market variety. Responds to 

 double working. 



Culinary, good quality. Large, dull green with brown 

 red flush. Growth strong and spreading, somewhat 

 pendulous, A hardy and useful variety, but a little 

 uncertain on some soils. 



Dessert, very similar to Williams in appearance and 

 quality, but must not be allowed to ripen on the 

 tree, and does not keep long. Large, lemon yellow 

 with black dots and generally a red cheek, Eegular 

 cropper. Growth weak and compact. Responds well 

 to double working. 



The finest and highest priced dessert pear grown. It 

 frequently fails to crop well. Should only be planted 

 experimentally at first. 



Dessert, good quality. Large, a deep russet brown 

 with a crimson flush. A regular and free cropper. 

 Growth strong and upright. A good market variety. 



A valuable dessert variety of very good quality. Light 

 yellow with patches of russet. A fairly good cropper, 

 but not reliable in all situations. Moderate and 

 irregular growth. 



Fair quality dessert. Medium size, russet with an 

 orange tinged cheek. Eegular and heavy bearer. 

 Growth moderate and upright. Makes an excellent 

 bush. Should be grown on pear stock on the poorer 

 soils. Has immense cropping powers. Liable to 

 canker.
