OTHER STANDARD VARIETIES OF PEARS 



Anjou (Buerre d'Anjou). The fruit is at its best in late Octo- 

 ber and early November. Color greenish yellow, with clear 

 white flesh. If the fruit is stored in a cool dry place, it will 

 keep until the winter holidays. The tree is a vigorous grower 

 and bears freely, but it does not come into bearing quite as 

 early as some other varieties. 



Clapp's Favorite. Large, fine grained and juicy. 



Duchess (Duchess d'Angouleme) . Ripens about the middle of 

 October. Fruit is extra large and of exceptional quality. 

 Trees begin to bear when quite small. 



Le Conte. Fruit large, with a smooth yellow skin. Flesh white, 

 firm, and juicy. Trees are free-bearing and vigorous in growth , 

 considered a desirable variety to use as a pollenizer for Kieffer. 



Seckel. Ripens in late September. Fruits medium in size, but 

 make up for this in quality, as it is, possibly, the finest flavored 

 pear on the market. Particularly valuable for home planting. 



Winter Nellis. Ripens mid-October and early November. Fruit 

 dull russet, of medium size, and finely grained. 



Plums 



Plum trees require no more 

 care than pear or peach trees. 

 They are easy to grow, thrive 

 well under ordinary conditions, 

 and can be planted almost any- 

 where. One of the desirable 

 places for planting plum trees is 

 in a poultry-yard or garden, as 

 the fowls will not harm the trees 

 nor eat the fruit. 



ABUNDANCE. Ripens in mid- 

 July. Skin light amber-color, 

 turning to bright cherry-red. 

 Flesh is light yellow and very 

 juicy. One of the best of the 

 Japanese varieties.
