New DEVOE PEAR 



U. S. PLANT 

 PATENT # 728 



Devoe Pear is sufficiently different from other pear varieties to be granted a U. S. plant 

 patent. This variety was discovered in a New York orchard about 23 years ago and has 

 consistently shown much vigor and dependable production of high quality fruit. Devoe ripens 

 about with Bartlett but its fruit are quite different in appearance. They are large and long 

 and have a fine light-yellow skin tinged with red. The white, firm flesh has a very good 

 flavor and it also has good keeping quality. Devoe apparently is self fertile but we recom- 

 mend another variety for cross-pollination. Trees are upright and the strong branches bear 

 a heavy crop without breakage. In the northeastern pear area, Devoe will ripen about a week 

 after Bartlett. 



Parcel Post Size (2 yr.. 3-4 ft.) Express Size (2 yr., 4-5 ft.) 



$2.45 each; 3 for $6.50 $2.95 each; 3 for $7.95 



Montmorency SOUR CHERRY 



For commercial plantings as well as home use Montmorency is by far the leading variety 

 of sour cherry. The fruit are large, firm, and have a beautiful bright red color. Fruit first 

 ripens in early July and can be kept on the tree about a month. This variety is self -fertile. 



Rayner's stock of Montmorency is of the excellent virus-free strain. 



Well rooted 2 yr. trees, 3-4 ft. tall are $1.9 5 each; five or more $1.65 each. See page 21
