H. S. WILEY & SON, CAYUGA. N. Y. 
*Seckel — Small, yellow russet, with a pecul- 
iarly rich flavor, the richest and finest vari- 
ety known. A most prolific bearer. Sep- 
tember and October. 
♦Howell— One of the finest late September 
Pears; very productive; large and hand- 
some, and of good quality; desirable. 
Bartlett Seckel — A cross between Bartlctt 
and Seckel, size of Bartlett and closely 
resembling that variety, but ten to twelve 
days later. I believe this to be a valuable 
variety. Quality excellent. Price, 50 cents. 
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 rea- 
son that it is difficult to get a good formed 
tree if budded at the ground. September 
to October. 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. 
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 pro- 
ductive. Fruit large, rich yellow, tinged 
with red. Ripens in October and Novem- 
ber. Unequalled for canning.

der and melting; of excellent quality, and

duced from France, highly recommended

winter Pears, often keeping till mid-winter;

APRICOTS 
Apricots are a rich, delicious fruit, coming 
between cherries and peaches, very much like 
the peach in outward appearance, but like the 
plum in quality and texture. One of the 
finest fruits for drying, and they fill a season 
when there are no other large fruits. 
Early Golden — Small, pale orange, juicy and 
sweet; hardy, productive. July. Price, 40 
cents.
