Reid’s Nurseries, Upland, Ohio. Geryville, Pa., Sept. Si, 1899. 
Dear Sirs — The 142 plum, pear and quince trees I got of you last spring all grew except one quince 
tree. They were very thrifty. Expect to send in another order this fall. 
Yours truly, M. G. Oberhoutzer. 
A strong, vigorous, upright, hardy grower, retaining its foliage ’^reen and healthy very late in the season; 
never has shown any blight, mildew or other disease; makes a very handsome tree. Bears young and 
abundantly. Fruit a beautiful bright yellow, with bril- 
liant red cheek; large, rich, juicy, buttery, melting, 
sprightly, vinous — of high flavor— very attractive in ap- 
pearance and of excellent quality. Much admired and 
highly praised by all who see it, and well shown on our 
last cover page. Ripens immediately after Bartlett, 
and commands the highest prices. Realizing the high 
prices at which Bartletts sell a little after their season, and 
the advantage of a large, handsome Pear of good quality 
ripening at that favorable time, we take pleasure in introduc- 
ing this to lovers of rare and choice fruits, with every confi- 
dence of its cordial reception and general satisfaction and 
profit to the planter. See back of cover. First-class, 40c. 
each, $4 per doz.; second-class, 30 cts. each, $3 per doz.; 
mailing size, postpaid, 25 cts. 
VERMONT BEAUTY. 
This beautiful and valuable Pear originated on Grand 
Isle, Lake Champlain. It is very hardy, having endured 
extremely cold weather, and has never lost a bud from 
either cold or blight. The growth is vigorous, the leaves 
free from blight, the crops are annual and abundant. In 
quality the fruit approaches nearerthat most delicious 
of Pears, the Seckel, than any other Pear on the 
market; it is full medium size, yellow, covered on the 
sunny side with bright carmine-red, making it exceedingly 
attractive and handsome; flesh melting, rich, juicy, aro- 
matic. Ripening with and after Seckel, though much 
larger in size and more attractive in appearance, it cannot 
fail to prove a general favorite and very valuable. Price, 
first-class, 40 cts. each, $4 per doz.; medium, 30 cts. each, 
$3 per doz. ; small, 25 cts. each, $2.50 per doz. ; 25 cts. each, 
postpaid. 
LINCOLN CORELESS. 
This wonderful and remarkable late winter Pear, so far 
as we are able to ascertain, is a chance seedling. It origi- 
nated in Lincoln county, Tennessee, near the Alabama line, and the original tree can be traced back for sixty years, 
during which time it has seldom failed to bear. The original tree, though 
scarcely more than a shell, has remained free from blight and annually borne 
fruit until a few summers ago, when, overloaded with fruit during the ex- 
treme dry weather, it died from sheer exhaustion. The young trees are good 
growers; wood dark; foliage large, healthy and entirely free from blight, 
leaf-rust or mildew. First-class, 40 cts. each, $4 per doz.; second-class, 30 
cts. each, $3 per doz. ; mailing size, postpaid, 25 cts. 
KIEFFER’S HYBRID. 
Well known for its wonderful vigor and early bear- 
ing qualities; fine for canning. Price, first-class, 40 cts. 
each, $4 per doz., $25 per 100; medium, 30 cts. each, $3 
per doz., $20 per 100; second-class, 25 cts. each, $2.50 per 
doz., $18 per 100.
