THE DWARF BUERRE HARDY 
Dwarf pears (on quince root) are 
easier to prune and harvest, and dwarf¬ 
ing induces earlier bearing. The quince 
root is also more Blight resistant, and 
it thrives on heavy, adobe soils. Buerre 
Hardy is the only variety which makes 
a good union with the quince, and 
“double working” is necessary in order 
to have other varieties on quince. 
THE OLD HOME BLIGHT 
RESISTANT PEAR 
During recent years the use of Old 
Home budded on French root has 
greatly increased among commercial 
growers in districts where Pear Blight 
is prevalent. By its use a tree is formed 
with a smooth straight trunk and lower 
limbs which are almost immune to 
Blight. The Bartlett, or other desired 
variety is then worked into these main 
limbs at four or five feet from the 
ground. We can furnish Old Home 
budded on French root at the same 
price as other pear trees. (The Old 
Home is not grown for its own fruit.) 
♦Winter Nells. November. Shipping and 
home orchard. Fruit medium in size, and 
overspread with brown russet. Flesh fine 
grained, sweet, juicy, and excellent in 
quality. Tree productive and quite resistant 
to Blight. A long keeper, and our best 
winter pear. Popular as a pollinizer for 
Bartlett.
