PARCEL POST. Trees not larger in size than 2 to 3 feet can be sent by parcel post, prepaid, at 3 cts. per

Autumn. A golden colored Pear, with a red cheek on most specimens. 

 Bartlett mellows and is excellent for eating very early in the fall, yet 

 when picked a week before it is ripe, and properly stored, will keep till 

 late. Flavor delicious and musky; flesh buttery, rich and juicy. One of the finest Pears that grows to eat 

 raw, and extra good for canning. A mingling of the flavor of Bartlett Pear and quince gives about the 

 finest taste of any food this world's folks have. Bartlett trees bear early, produce enormous crops, and 

 are not nearly so subject to damage by insects and disease as some other sorts. The trees do especially 

 well with high culture. 



KIEFFER. _ _ ^ ^ ^ 



want its merits fully known by those who are con- 

 either in a commercial way or in the home orchard. Not the least of its merits is 

 fer can be placeed on the market in perfect condition, and the top prices of the 

 be secured for it. It is unfortunate that the merits of this Pear have become 

 cause of the haste in which it has been hurried to market in an immature con- 

 growers, and often before it has attained the proper size. When 

 allowed to hang upon the trees until in October, and then care- ^/ 

 fully 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 juici- 

 ness with a sprightly, subacid flavor and the peculiar aroma 

 of the Bartlett. Large fruit-growers are planting whole 

 orchards of it. Ninety per cent Kieffer and ten per 

 cent of other good varieties should be the arrange- 

 ment in every orchard to secure the pollination 

 necessary for producing large crops from Kieffer. 

 Plant the Kieffer orchard and leave space for the 

 other trees to be planted as pollenizers. 



I have received a copy of "How to Grow and 

 Market Fruit; "and it is only fair to say that the 

 treatise is one of the best pieces of trade litera- 

 ture put out in America today. I take the hberty 

 of adding that, for its wealth of practical 

 information and the ehmination from its pages 

 of private interest and commerciahsrn in a 

 wisely broad spirit, your generous contribu- 

 tion to horticultural knowledge is notable; nor 

 do I know of a popular manual by any of the 

 world's industrial or technical experts freer 

 from wasteful "padding" and unneccessary 

 verbiage. It is a compliment to the discernment 

 of the reading public. 



Almost every line tersely but clearly conveys 

 its authoritative suggestion, or valuable informa- 

 tion; making the book a bountiful and depend- 

 able text and reference volume for fruit-growers 

 everywhere. My compliments to the author person 

 ally. His ready marshaling and application of Nature's 

 myriad facts and secrets reminds one of Darwin's class of 

 work, tho' now applied to the present-day industrial 

 field. — E. A. Clemens, Manager AL Ranch, Magdalena,

Come to Berlin, see the nurseries and our ways of 

 doing things. Let us know when you are coming, if you 

 can, but the latch-string is always out, and someone will 

 be ready to take you around in the automobile.
