ALBANY NURSERIES 
AUTUMN PEARS, Continued 
ing; high golden yellow color; a prolific bearer. 
Trees never overloaded, although they bear 
heavy every year. The Crocker-Bartlett Pears 
are picked in October and laid away same as 
winter apples, till about January, when they 
mellow up and are delicious; very hardy; will ship 
to England and back if necessary. It has proven 
to be blight-proof and has stood the test for the 
past ten years. Out of 3,000 young Crocker- 
Bartlett trees in my orchard, I offer a liberal re- 
ward for any sign of blight on them.”
