Neiv DEVOE PEAK 



L. S. Plant Patent No. 728 



Because of its high resistance to the fire bliglit disease, excellent 

 fruit quality, and high production Devoe is rapidly becoming a lead- 

 ing pear in the east. It can be grown successfully in southeastern 

 states where blight is such a problem. Thus, if you have had trouble 

 with pears be sure and try Devoe. The fruit is elongate and has a 

 light-yellow skin tinged with red. The white flesh is firm, of de- 

 licious flavor, and free of grit cells. If picked green the fruit will ^ 

 keep for several months in cold storage and develop a very nice flav- ^ 

 or. Young trees are very vigorous and have a sturdy root system. 

 The wood is very strong and bears large crops without breakage. 

 Devoe ripens in September about Bartlett season. Devoe is appar- 

 ently very self -fruitful but like other pears, we advise that 2 or more 

 varieties should be grown nearby for cross pollination. We recom- 

 mend Devoe for home and commercial plantings in the entire eastern 

 pear area.

BARTLETT PEAR 



Bartlett is the aristocrat of all pears, generally being considered the outstanding variety 

 for quality and flavor. The fruit have a golden color with a faint red blush on the sunny side. 

 The flesh is juicy when ripe and yet firm enough for shipping. For canning Bartlett has al- 

 ways been the favorite variety. In the central southeastern areas Bartlett may be injured by 

 fire blight so it is not recommended for commercial plantings in this area. 



CLAPP'S FAVORITE PEAR 



Clapps Favorite is an extremely hardy pear that >will gro\^■ in all the northeastern states. 

 In this area it is a very good variety since fire blight is not normally a problem. However, in 

 the southeastern area it may be injured by blight. Clapps usually ripens in August to Sep- 

 tember producing large fruit with a yellow skin flecked with brown dots. The flesh has a fine 

 texture and excellent flavor. It should be planted near another pear for cross-pollination. 

 This is another fine pear that has l)een proven excellent by many years of successful produc- 

 tion. 



f^ECKEL PEAR 



Seckel has long been a favorite pear in the east because of its blight resistance and un- 

 usually fine fiavor. This is the pear that produces loads of small reddish-brown fruit, late in 

 the season. When allowed to become fairly soft they develop a flavor that is deliciously dif- 

 ferent from all other fruit. The trees have a nice upright shape and will grow in nearly any 

 type of soil. Seckel is quite self-fertile but for most dependable production we recommend 

 Clapps Favorite for cross-pollination. This va riety is hardy into most of Maine and Vermont.
