J. STECKLER SEED CO., I/TD., ALMANAC AND 



BARTI,ETT PBAR. 



This well known variety, one of the finest pears in cultivation, has been successfully 

 cultivated here; but occasionally it has blighted. Since the introduction of the Le Conte, 

 trials have been made with success, that is, by grafting this and other fine varieties upon 

 the Le Conte — by so doing, the trees are imparted with the vigor of the latter, growing 

 stronger, and making finer and healthier trees. We offer trees grafted on the Le Conte 

 stock for sale. One } ear old trees. 3 to 4 feet, 25c. each; $2.00 per dozen. 



DUCHESS DANGOUI/BM^ PEAR. 



Another popular variety which does well in this section on Le Conte stock. One 

 year old, 25c. each; $2.50 per dozen. 



HOWEI,!, PEAR. 



One of the best for here. Tree is an upright free grower, and an early and profuse 

 bearer. One year old, 25c. each; $2.25 per dozen. 



CI,APP>S FAVORITE PEAR. 



A large new Pear, resembling the Bartlett, but does not possess its musky flavor. Fine 

 texture; juicy, with a rich, delicate vinous flavor. It is very productive. On Le Conte 

 stock. One year old, 25c. each; $2.25 per dozen. 



JEFFERSON PEAR. 



Another blight proof Pear, very distinct in habit and growth from other varieties un- 

 der cultivation. Cannot be stated yet under what particular type or species it should be 

 classed. 



It ripens in central Mississippi from the 1st to 10th of June, is in the market with the 

 earliest peaches, and brings the highest prices. It is above medium size, color, bright 

 yellow with a bright, deep crimson cheek. It is ripe and marketed before Le Conte is 

 ready to ship. It is poor in flavor. One year old, 25c. each; S2.25 per dozen. 



GARBER'S HYBRID PEAR. 



An excellent, hardy variety, introduced here some years ago by the late R. Frotscher. 

 It has proven an excellent bearer, and so far has never been attacked by blight. The 

 fruit is oblong, of a delicious flavor, flesh melting and juicy. Ripens in August and Sep- 

 tember. On Le Conte stock, 25c. each; $2.25 per dozen. 



Wild Goose Plum.
