\New! MOONGLOW PEAR ‘o'r cucu 
|New! MAGNESS PEAR 
Agriculture has developed Moonglow and Magness, both of which 
appear to have sufficient blight resistance to enable them to be 
grown throughout the eastern pear area. Moonglow is a large, 
high-quality pear that ripens about two weeks before Bartlett. It 
is good for fresh use as well as processing and storage. Moonglow 
is a good pollen producer and will set fruit when pollinated by 
nearly any other pear. Trees are vigorous and upright.

EXTREMELY BLIGHT RESISTANT. FROM U. S. DEPT. AGRICULTURE 
Magness has very high blight resistance and is very vigorous, 
with a spreading shape. It produces big crops of medium size pears 
with a soft, sweet flesh that is almost free of grit cells. It ripens 
about a week after Bartlett and can be held in cold storage up to 
three months with fine quality. Magness does not produce good ee 
pollen, so cannot pollinate other pears. It will set good fruit with MOONGLOW 
pollen from most other pears. Courtesy U. S. Dept. Agriculture
