PEARS, continued 



KIEFFER. 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 known by those who are contemplating Pears either in 

 a commercial 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, 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 yellow, 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.
