Pear Trees. 



BABTI.ETT PEAR.— This well known 

 variety, one of the finest Pears in cultiva- 

 tion, has been successfully cultivated here, 

 but occasionally it has blighted. Since the 

 introduction of the Le Conte, trials have 

 been made with success. This is, by graft- 

 ing this and other fine varieties upon the 

 Le Conte — by so doing the trees are im- 

 parted with the vigor of the latter, grow- 

 ing stronger, and making finer and health- 

 ier trees. We offer trees grafted on the Le 

 Conte stock for sale. One year old trees, 

 40c. each, $4.00 per dozen. 



CIiAFF'S FAVORITE PEAR.— A large 



new Pear, resembling the Bartlett, but does 

 not possess its musky flavor. Fine texture, 

 juicy, with a rich, delicate vinous flavor. 

 It is very productive. On Le Conte stock. 

 One year old, 40c. each; $3.75 per dozen. 



DUCHESS D'ANGOUIiEME PEAR.— An- 

 other popular variety which does well in 

 this section on Le Conte stock. One year 

 old, 40c. each; $3.75 per dozen. 



HOWEI^Z. PEAR.— One of the best for 

 here. Tree is an upright free grower, and 

 I an early and profuse bearer. One year old, 

 j 60c. each. 



I JEFFERSON PEAR. — Another bllght- 

 I proof Pear very distinct in habit and 

 growth from other varieties under cultiva- 

 tion. It ripens in Central Mississippi from 

 the 1st to 10th of June, is in the market 

 I with the earliest peaches, and brings the 

 . highest prices. It is above medium size; 

 I color, bright yellow with a bright deep 

 I crimson cheek. It is ripe and marketed 

 1 before Le Conte is ready to ship. One year 

 ! old, 40c. each; $3.75 per dozen. 



I KEIFFER'S HYBRID PEAR.— A hybrid 



I between the China Sand and Bartlett, both 

 < of which resemble it in wood and foliage, 

 i It has the vigor and productiveness of its 

 ! Chinese parent. Fruit large and handsome, 

 bright yellow and red cheek; flesh tender, 

 ' juicy and well flavored. It comes into 

 i bearing at an early age. Ripens end of 

 I September or beginning of October. It is 

 1 an excellent sort for preserving. Two year 

 I old trees, 30c. each; $3.50 per dozen. Three 

 I year old trees, 75c. each; $8.00 per dozen.
