valuable market variety.

♦Howell — One of the finest late September 
Pears; very productive; large and hand- 
some, and of good quality; desirable. 
Bartlett Seckel — A cross between Bartlett 
and Seckel, size of Bartlett and closely 
resembling that variety, but ten to twelve 
days later, 1 believe this to be a valuable 
variety. Quality excellent. Price, 50 cents. 
♦Duchess d'Angouleme — Very large, dull 
greenish yellow, streaked and spotted with 
russet; flesh white, buttery and very juicy, 
with a rich and very excellent flavor. The 
large size and fine appearance of this fruit 
make it a general favorite. 
Bosc — A Pear that is more and more receiv- 
ing the attention that it deserves, and is 
one of the leading business Pears for New 
England. It is an ideal Pear, combining as 
it does good looks and size with the best 
of quality, equaling the Seckel in flavor, 
and is large to very large. The Bosc is 
usually grown by top working, for the 
simple reason that it is difficult to get a 
good formed tree if budded at the ground. 
September to October. Price, 50 cents. 
Kieffer's Hybrid — Said to be a hybrid be- 
tween Bartlett and the Chinese Sand Pear. 
The tree is a vigorous grower, an early 
and regular bearer, and very productive. 
Fruit large, j'ellow, tinged with red. 
Ripens in October and November. Un- 
equalled for canning and is being planted 
heavy as a commercial variety. No. 1, 
$25.00 per 100.

der and melting; of excellent quality, and
