Messrs. R. G. Chase & Co. — 
"Last November I received from your agent a Kieffer Pear tree that now 
has three nice pears on it. It is the finest growing tree I ever saw."

"I have raised Kieflfer's Hybrid Pear, and in my opinion tliere is nothing 
in the pear line that can equal it for hardiness, beauty of fruit, good Iteeping 
qualities and freedom from blight." 
WILLIAM HILL. 
Rancooas, Burlington Co., N. J., July 7, 1881. 
"I have Kieffer's Hybrid Pear trees on my farm, planted two years this 
spring, and only one j'ear from bud when transplanted, that to-day stand over 
twelve (12) feet high. I also have a little tree now making its second years- 
growth, that has on it to-day fifty-two (52) fine looking pears.''

Strasburg, Lancaster Co., Pa., June 13, 1882. 
Messrs. R. G. Chass & Co — 
"Regarding Kieffer's Hybrid; it has fruited the second season after trans- 
planting, and in my judgement is the finest pear I ever saw. I would recommend 
it to all fruit growers as one of the most profitable pears, as they w ill not have to 
wait half of a life time for the fruit, as is the case with so many varieties." 
Respectfully,

Mantua, Gloucester Co., N. J., June 9, 1888. 
Messrs. R. G. Chase & Co. — 
"I am much pleased willi the six Kieffer Hybrid Pears I purchased from, you 
last fall. They are all showing fruit, having from four to eight pears each; one 
or two of which I shall allow to remain, as I have no doubt, from the growth and 
vigor of the trees, they will come to maturity. I am so well satisfied with the 
stock, that I intend to plant a quantity of tliis variety as soon as I can get my 
ground ready." 
Yours, Respectfully,

Messrs. R. G. Chase & Co. — 
Dear Sirs:— "One year ago this fall I bought of your Agent six Kieffer Hybrid 
Pear trees. Allhougli th:; winter was a very severe one, and the past summer a 
very unfavorable one for young stock, my trees made the largest growth that I 
ever saw made in one year. One of the trees matured tliree pears. They were 
as near like the specimen shown in your circular as could be. One of them I took 
to the store near here, and it weighed 13 ounces, one of them wiis taken from the 
tree, and the other we ate at home. We all thought it the l)esl flavored pear we 
had ever tasted," Yours, &c., 
JOHN H. CARKNER.
