Mendel Pear 
Mendel Pear. 
We have come to the conclusion after considerable investigation 
that the Mendel is hardy enough for trial and will undoubtedly suc¬ 
ceed in many localities. 
Mendel is a real, good sized pear of very fair quality and showing 
great resistance to blight as well as hardiness against cold. 
We are fortunate to be able to offer a limited number of 3 to 4- 
foot trees. Price, each, 70c. 
The trees we got from you two years ago have done very well, hope these will do as well.
