Pear Trees. 



BARTLETT PEAR. — This is a well 

 known variety, one of the finest Pears in 

 cultivation, has been successfully cultiva- 

 ted here, but occasionally it has blighted. 

 Since the introduction of the Le Conte, 

 trials have been made with success. This 

 is, by grafting this and other fine varieties 

 upon the Le Conte — by so doing the trees 

 are imparted with the vigor of the latter, 

 growing stronger and making finer and 

 healthier trees. We offer trees grafted on 

 the Le Conte stock for sale. One year old 

 trees, 40c. each. $4.00 per dozen. 



CLAPP'S FAVORITE PEAR. — A large 

 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. 



JEFFERSON PEAR. — Another blight- 

 proof Pear very distinct in habit and 

 growth from other varieties under culti\a- 

 tion. It ripens in Central Mississippi from 

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

 with the earliest peaches, and brings the 

 highest prices. It is above medium size; 

 color, bright yellow with a bright deep 

 crimson cheek. It is ripe and marketed 

 before Le Conte is ready to ship. One year 

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



KEIFFER'S H7BRID PEAR.— A hybrid 

 between the China Sand and Bartlett. both 

 of which resemble it in wood and foliage. 

 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 

 bearing at an early age. Riepns end of 

 September or beginning of October. It is 

 an excellent sort for preserving. Two year 

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

 year old trees, 76c. each; $8.00 per dozen.
