WINTER PEARS. 



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 blight. October 

 to December. 



Vicar— Large, long; not always good quality, but 

 desirable on account of its productiveness. 



Lincoln Coreless— Fruit large, quality very good, 

 rich, luscious and juicy, and pronounced excellent by 

 all who taste it. When ripe the skin is of a richgolden 

 tint, and the flesh is yellow. Tree a strong, healthy 

 grower. They are hardy , enduring the same climate 

 that Bartlett will. Has no core. 



KruII— A native Missouri seedling. Keeps until 



April in barrels like apples. Lemon yellow with a 

 delicate bloom giving it a rich appearance; skin thick 

 and strong; flesh firm until fully ripe, when it be- 

 comes juicy, melting, rich and sweet. 



Lawrence — Rather large; yellow, covered with 

 brown dots; flesh whiteish, slightly granular, some- 

 times buttery, with a very rich aromatic flavor, un- 

 surpassed by the early winter pears ; ripens with little 

 care. Tree healthy, hardy and productive. Novem- 

 ber and December. 



Hoosac — A new variety, originated in Massachu- 

 setts. Flesh fine grained, melting, juicy, with a rich 

 almond flavor. Very hardy and a good bearer. Octo- 

 ber.
