Standard Summer Pears 
*Bartlett — One of the most popular Pears. 
Large, often v^ith a beautiful blush next 
the sun. Last of August and first of Sep- 
tember. 
♦Clapp's Favorite — Large, pale lemon-yel- 
low, with red cheek; flesh fine-grained, 
juicy, melting, rich and buttery. August 
and September. 
Doyenne d'Ete — Small, yellow, with a blush 
on sunny side, melting and sweet. August. 
Tyson — Above medium size, deep yellow at 
full maturity, with a crimson cheek; one 
of the finest summer varieties. August. 
♦Wilder Early — Tree a perfect grower, good 
form and vigorous. Fruit handsome, yel- 
low with a red cheek, fine quality. Early 
August. 
Autumn Pears 
♦Anjou — (Beurre d'Anjou). A large, hand- 
some Pear, buttery and melting, with 
sprightly, vinous flavor; keeps into mid- 
winter. 
♦Louise Bonne — Large, oblong, pale green 
in the shade, but overspread with brown- 
ish red in the sun; rich and excellent 
flavor. September. 
Clairgeau — Its large size, early fruiting qual- 
ities and handsome appearance make it a 
valuable market variety. 
Sheldon — Large, roundish, greenish yellow, 
mostly covered with thin, light russet; 
melting, sweet and vinous. October and 
November. 
Worden Seckel — A seedling of the Seckel 
raised by Mr. Sylvester Worden, the orig- 
inator of the now famous Worden Grape. 
Fruit medium size, borne in clusters, juicy, 
buttery, fine-grained. Ripens in October. 
Price, 75 cents. 
♦Seckel — Small, yellow russet, with a pecu- 
liarly rich flavor, the richest and finest 
variety known. A most prolific bearer. 
September 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 Bartlett 
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 — One of the leading business Pears for 
New England. It is an ideal Pear, com- 
bining as it does good looks and size 
with the best of quality, equaling the 
Seckel in flavor, and is large to very large. 
September to October. Price, 75 cents. 
Kieffer's Hybrid — This tree is a vigorous 
grower, an early and regular bearer, and 
very productive. Fruit large, yellow, 
tinged with red. Ripens in October and 
November. Unequalled for canning and 
is being planted heavy as a commercial 
variety. 
Select Winter Pears 
Lawrence — Above medium size, yellow, ten- 
der and melting; of excellent quality, and 
one of the best winter Pears. In season 
during midwinter 
Winter Nellis — A superb winter Pear of 
highest quality. A good bearer and should 
be in every collection. In perfection in 
December and January. Price, 75 cents. 
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. 
Harris Apricot — Rich golden yellow; large 
size, very fine quality; hardy, early bearer 
and immensely prolific. Price, 40 cents. 
Moorpark — Large, orange and red, firm, 
juicy, rich flavor; very productive. Au- 
gust. Price, 40 cents.
