1 Public interest in this most promising new pear 
continues unabated. Most flattering reports are re¬ 
ceived in regard to the growth of cions and trees sent 
out the past spring, but like all toings of merit it has 
its counterfeits. Thousands of bogus trees will be 
palmed off upon the public. Remember, any person 
labeling pear trees “IDAHO” without our consent, 
does so in violation of the Patent Laws of the United 
States. Buy only trees under seal of our registered 
Trade-Mark. Intending purchasers who may prefer 
obtaining trees nearer home will be furnished the 
addresses of responsible dealers who handle genuine 
stock. Send for our illustrated prospectus.
