KIEFFER. 



KIEFFER— Commences to bear the second, if not the first, season after transplanting, -with 

 so vigorous a constitution that it very rarely, if ever, blights. Many of our trees four years 

 after planting have yielded as many as three bushels of perfect fruit. 



For erect, symmetrical, vigorous growth, early bearing, productiveness, time of maturity, 

 keeping qualities, freedom from insects, fungi and blight, handsome appearance and excellent 

 canning qualities, it stands pre-eminently the most^_^,^^_^_^_^_^,_^_^,_^_^ 

 desirable commercial pear extant. It has justly and( Ppnnsvlvania Nov q 18qq 



appropriately been termed Hie Business Pear, as it^ „ ., ir'ennsyivania, JNov. y, I8yy. 



■ - • ' ■ ^ ^ . . . , ^^,j> Messrs. J. G. Harrison & Sons, 



has resulted in more business and profit to the grow- 



er than any other pear, in keeping and delicious( 

 qualities, comparing favorably with the apple and( 

 other mid-winter luxuries of tree fruits of the( 

 temperate zone. 



A seedling of Chinese Sand Pear, supposed to( 

 have been crossed with Bartlett. Fruit large to very 

 large, skin yellow with a light vermillion cheek ; flesh brittle, very juicy with a marked 

 mueky aroma, good quality. 



Dear Sirs :— Trees received in good 

 shape. Please accept thanks for good 

 trees. Everything looks favorable for 

 success. Respectfully,
