DESCRIPTIVE PRICED CATALOGUE 
Kieffer's Hybrid. Said to be a hybrid between Bartlett and 
the Chinese Sand Pear. The tree is a vigorous grower, an early and^ 
regular bearer, and very productive. Fruit large, rich yellow, tinged 
with red. Ripens in October. Unequalled for canning. 
Seckel. Small, yellowish russet, with a red cheek ; flesh whit- 
ish, buttery ; very juicy and melting, with a peculiarly rich, spicy 
flavor and aroma ; the richest and finest variety known, and extensive- 
ly planted all over the country. A most prolific bearer. 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. 
Vermont Beauty. Most desirable of all dessert Pears. Rip- 
ens a little later than Seckel ; much excels that variety in size and 
beauty. Fruit of full medium size, ovate, yellow, and covered on the 
sunny side with a bright carmine red, making it indeed a beauty.. 
Perfectly hardy, a free grower and an abundant and annual bearer. 
October and November.
