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

early as some other varieties.

October. Fruit is extra large and of exceptional quality.

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.

July. Skin light amber-color, 
turning to bright cherry-red.

juicy. One of the best of the
