MOTE.— Varieties followed by (D) can be supplied in Dwarfs as well as Standards. Prices are as above, except 
where noted. 
We call our customers’ attention to the fact that many nurserymen and dealers, in offering- Pears, give prices 
for first-class trees and supply only a ^ to yi-ia. grade. These are first-class trees, but you should not be misled. 
We give both grade and rate, and can supply as fine stock as was ever grown, at lowest rates. 
We have a large stock of fine trees of a light grade (those marked with a star), that we offer in lots of 100 
trees at $6 per 100, 4 to S feet ; good selections. 
Those wanting trees should write us, giving varieties, and we will give special rates.
