STANDARD PEARSjt 
standard Pears are those grown upon their own roots or upon Pear stocks. 
They come into bearing later than the Dwarf Pears, which are budded on 
quince stocks, but form much larger trees of a more permanent character and 
larger yield. Price except otherwise noted

SUMMER PEARS^ 
Bartlett. One of the most popular Pears. Large, often with a beautiful 
blush next the sun; buttery, very juicy and high flavored. Tree a strong- 
grower; bearing early and abundantly. Last of August and first of Septem- 
ber. 
Clapp'S Favorite. Large, pale lemon-yellow, with red cheek; flesh 
fine grained, juicy, melting, rich and buttery. A good grower and produc- 
tive. In season during August and Septernber. Care should be taken to 
pick the fruit at least to days before it would ripen upon the tree. 
Doyenne d' Ete. Small, yellow, with a blush on sunny side, melting 
and sweet; pleasant flavor. Tree a strong grower, very productive. In season 
during August. 
Tyson Above medium size, deep yellow at full maturity, slightly 
russet, with a crimson cheek; melting, juicy and fine flavored, a vigorous and 
rapid grower; one of the finest summer varieties. In season during August. 
Wilder Early. Tree a perfect grower, good form and vigorous. Fruit 
handsome, yellow with a red cheek, fine quality; ripens very early. Is ex- 
tremely hardy, remarkably productive, and will not rot at the core. Season, 
early August. 
AUTUMN PEARS.^t 
Anjou. (Beurre d' Anjou.) A large, handsome Pear, buttery and melt- 
ing, with sprightly, vinous flavor; keeps into mid-winter. Tree a vigorous 
grower and good bearer. Does equally well as a standard or a dwarf. Keeps 
until the winter holidays, when it commands very high prices in the market. 
Flemish Beauty. One of the older sorts which deserves special prom- 
inence on account of its hardiness, for which quality it ranks among Pears as 
the Duchess of Oldenburg does among apples. Large, greenish yellow and 
brown with large spots of russet; rich and juicy, with a melting and musky 
flavor; strong grower and great bearer. 
Louise Bonne. Large, oblong, pyriform, pale green in the shade, but 
overspread with brownish red in the sun; very juicy and melting, with a rich 
and excellent flavor; a profitable market variety, succeeding better on the 
•[uince than on the Pear root. September and October. 
Sheldon. Large, roundish, greenish yellow, mostly covered with thin, 
light russet; very juicy, melting, sweet and vinous. A fine grower and good 
bearer, but does not succeed on the quince. It should, however, have a place 
in every collection, no matter how small, on account of its good quality. In 
season during October and November. 
Worden Seckei. A seedling of the Seckel raised by Mr. Sylves- 
ter Worden, the originator of the now famous Worden Grape. Fruit medium 
size, borne in clusters, juicy, buttery, fine-grained, with a flavor and aroma 
fully equal to that of its parent, which it surpasses in size, beauty, and keeping 
qualities. Ripens in October, but will keep in good condition till December
