NOTE.— Varieties followed by (D) can be supplied in Dwarfs as well as Standards. Prices are as above, except 
where noted. 
We call onr customers’ attention to the fact that many nurserymen and dealers, in offering Pears, give prices 
for first-class trees and supply to Kin. grade. These are first-class trees, but you should not be misled. We give 
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 will offer in lots of loo 
trees at $8 per 100 , 4 to S feet ; good selections. 
Those wanting trees should write us, giving varieties, and we will give special rates.
