Transcendent. All things considered, this is one of the most valuable 
varieties of Crab apples grown. Tree remarkably vigorous, growing to a good 
size, and immensely productive. Comes into bearing a little the second year 
from planting, bearing every year after, and producing good crops by the 
fourth year. Fruit very large, from one and one-half to two inches in 
diameter. 
The cultivation of this noble fruit is rapidly 
spreading, as its value becomes better known. 
The range of varieties is such that, like apples, 
they can be had in good eating condition from August till early 
For small grounds and market we would advise planting mainly of 
spring 
Dwarf trees. 
The melting, juicy texture, the refined flavor and the delicate aroma of the 
Pear give it rank above all other fruits except the Grape. The Pear, like most 
things highly desirable and valuable, cannot be had without attention and 
labor. The relative prices of the apple and pear being about as i to 10, pur- 
chasers of the latter can well afford to give the trees the high cultivation 
necessary to secure the best results.
