DOUGLAS— H ere is a blight-free pear —in which is combined the best quali¬ 
ties and habits of all leading varieties—with the drawbacks of none. It 
bears even more profusely than the Kieflfer. It begins to bear at an 
earlier age than any other pear on earth. It ranks with the best in shape, 
size and coloring. 
BARTLETT —Large size, rich, yellow color, with a blush; very juicy and 
highly flavored; good to eat from the tree. This is the variety that is sold 
at fruit stands. 
KEIFFER —The best late pear—does not ripen on the tree. Pick them be¬ 
fore frost and lay them away. Heavy and sure bearer; good for canning. 
DUCHESS— The largest of the eating pears, flesh white, very juicy, and ex¬ 
cellent flavor. October. 
SECKLE —The small, sweet pear. Surely fine to eat from the tree. The 
tree is a slow grower, but very hardy. September. 
CLAPPS FAVORITE —Very large, yellow and dull red, with russet specks. 
Melting rich. August.
