 -with dull crimson; flesh whitish, buttery, melting- Avith a high rich vinous excellent flavor: 

 very productive. Should be in every orchard, October and November. 



BARStCKLE PEAR— This remarkable new pear is sometimes known as Bartlett-Seckel. 

 It is a cross between Bartlett and Seckel, hence the name. In size it is a little smaller than 

 Bartlett and ripens a little later than Bartlett. The color is pale green, with seldom any 

 color on the sunny side. The flesh is fine grained, white, very melting and juicy, anrl in 

 quality unmistakably the best. It is not as sweet as Seckel but more vinous, and is preferred 

 ^y maiiy in quality to Seckel. The trees are vigorous upright growers.

 <'-ranular, sometimes buttery, with a very rich aromatic flavor, unsurpassed by the early 

 winter pears; ripens with little care. Tree healthy, hardy and productive. November and 

 December. 



GARBER— Is kin and very much like Kieffer, but ripens two or three weeks earlier: 

 yellow as an orange; immensely productive and bears in three years from the nursery. Free 

 from bli^-ht October to December. 



VICAR— Large, long; not always good quality, but desirable on account of its pro- 

 ductiveness.
