KlEFFER'S HYBRID pear. 
This variety is unquestionably a great acquisition to the list of choice fruits. It is 
the best of two hundred seedlings raised from the Chinese Sand Pear, crossed with a 
cultivated variety, supposed to be the Bartlett, which was growing near by the ori°-i- 
nal Sand Pear tree, from which the seed was obtained in or about the year 1808. This 
seedling tree commenced fruiting in 1873 when about five years of age, and has yielded 
well every year since— several bushels have been gathered each season. The Chinese 
Sand Pear, as is well-known, is considered blight proof, remaining green and vigorous in 
situations where other varieties blight and die. First class, 50c. each, 85 ner do/ 
$25 per 100. 
LE CONTE PEAR. 
Resembles somewhat the Kieffer, and with the same parentage. Large, bell-shaped 
greenish yellow, smooth, waxen skin, handsome; flesh white, juicy, inferior quality. A 
rampant grower, early, annual and prolific bearer. Exceedingly popular at the South 
where it has been planted with marvelously profitable results. First-class, 50c each 
$5 per doz., $25 per 100.
