Leading Varieties. For the convenience of our customers who may not be entirely familiar with 

 the best and most profitable varieties, we have printed the names of such sorts in heavy type. In making 

 your selection, it will pay you to choose from among those varieties. 



STANDARD AUTUMN PEARS 



Bartlett. ^ golden colored Pear, with a red 



■* cheek on most specimens. Bartlett 



mellows and is excellent for eating very early in 

 the fall, yet when picked a week before it is ripe, 

 and properly stored, will keep till late. Flavor 

 delicious and musky; flesh buttery, rich and juicy. 

 One of the finest Pears that grows to eat raw, and 

 extra good for canning. A mingling of the flavor 

 of Bartlett Pear and quince gives about the finest 

 taste of any food this world's folks have. Bartlett 

 trees bear early, produce enormous crops, and 

 are not nearly so subject to damage by insects 

 and disease as some other sorts. The trees do 

 especially well with high culture. 



Garber. Trees free from blight and immensely 

 productive. Fruit large, resembling Kieffer, but 

 ripening two or three weeks earlier. A good 

 pollenizer for planting with Kieffer. Oct. to Dec. 



Le Conte. Vigorous and prolific sort. Fruit large, 

 with smooth yellow skin; flesh juicy and firm. 



Seckel. Most exquisitely flavored Pear known. 

 Fruit small, yellow with red cheek, melting, 

 sweet and aromatic. Aug. and Sept. 



STANDARD WINTER PEARS 



Large to very large; skin 

 yellow with a light vermilion 

 cheek; flesh brittle, very 

 juicy, with a marked musky aroma; good quality. 

 It is unfortunate that the merits of this Pear 

 have become under-estimated because of the 

 haste in which it has been hurried to market 

 in an immature condition by some growers, 

 and often before it has attained the proper size. 

 When allowed to hang upon the trees until in 

 October, and then carefully ripened in a cool, 

 dark room there are few Pears which are more 

 attractive. Combines extreme juiciness with a 

 sprightly subacid flavor and the peculiar aroma 

 of the Bartlett. Large fruit-growers are planting 

 whole orchards of it. Should be thinned. Ninety 

 per cent Kieffer and ten per cent Le Conte or 

 Garber trees should be the arrangement in every 

 orchard, to secure the pollination necessary for 

 producing large crops from Kieffer. Plant the 



Kieffer. 



Kieffer Pear, continued 



Kieffer orchard and leave spaces for the other 

 trees to be planted as pollenizers. Le Conte or 

 Garber trees grow fast and bloom profusely 

 at a very early age. We cannot say too niuch 

 in favor of this grand Pear, for it has proved 

 such a boon to us and everyone who has planted it 

 that we want its merits fully known by those 

 who are contemplating Pears either in a com- 

 mercial way or in the home orchard. Not the least 

 of its merits is the fact that Kieffer can be placed 

 on the market in perfect condition, as outlined on 

 pages 122 to 131 of our book, "How to Grow and 

 Market Fruit," and the top prices of the market 

 can always be secured for it. 



DWARF PEARS 



Bartlett. This is the only variety we are offering 

 in dwarf form, and the fruit is exactly the same 

 as that borne by the standard trees. The chief 

 merits of dwarf fruit trees lies in their practica- 

 bility for small places, the ease with which the 

 trees may be sprayed and the convenience of 

 picking the fruit. They are particularly adapted 

 for growing in poultry-yards, where they give 

 much-needed shade and are benefited by the extra 

 fertilizing of the soil. 



In one of our Kieffer Pear Orchards, ai Berlin. This orchard 

 bore ten cars of fancy fruit in the season of 1912
