Anjou (Beurre d'Anjou). Autumn. Fruit is light green, with a red and russet 



cheek. Tree vigorous. 

 Barseck. A cross between Bartlett and Seckel. Larger than Seckel. Summer. 



g^J^yLf^'yy^ summer. A 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. 



Clapp Favorite. Summer. A lemon-yellow fruit, spotted with brown dots. 

 Flesh fine, flavor rich and sweet. 



Duchess (Angouleme). Bears young. Fruit large; good quality. October 20. 



Garber. Fall. A good pollenizer for Kieffer. Fruit resembles Kieffer, but 

 ripens two to three weeks earlier. 



j^irpppl? Fall. We cannot say too much in favor of this money- 



! maker, for it has proved such a boon to us and everyone who 



has planted it that we want its merits fully knov/n by those who are con- 

 templating Pears either in a commercial way or in the home orchard. Kieffer 

 can be placed on the market in perfect condition, and the top prices of the 

 market can always be secured for it. 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. The fruit is large to very large; skin yel- 

 low, with a light vermilion cheek; flesh brittle, very juicy, with a marked 

 musky aroma; good quality; combines extreme juiciness with a sprightly, 

 subacid flavor and the peculiar aroma of the Bartlett. Large fruit-growers 

 are planting whole orchards of it — 90 per cent Kieffer and 10 per cent of 

 other good varieties should be the arrangement in every orchard to secure 

 the pollination necessary for producing large crops from Kieffer. 



Lawrence. Winter. 



LeConte. Fall. A good pollenizer for Kieffer. 



Seckel. Fall. Very juicy; highly flavored; trees small and stocky. An ex- 

 cellent fruit for home or market. 



Winter Nellis. Dehcious fruit; keeps well; fine grained. Tree regular bearer.
