Pears 
THE PINEAPPLE OR BLJGHT- 
LESS SAND PEAR —Large, smooth, 
firm, cream colored, fine flavored when 
mellow. It makes the most delicious 
preserves, marmalades, etc. It is a fine 
shipper and will keep for months when 
properly stored. Any fruit tree that 
bears from 25 to 75 bushels of fine 
fruit per year is worthy of most serious 
consideration. The fruit sells readily. 
Ripens from Augu-st to September. 
This pear comes into bearing the third 
to fourth year after setting out. The 
tree is extremely thrifty, vigorous, a-nd 
a rapid grower on all types of soil. Our 
wood is gotten directly from old parent 
trees and is therefore the GENUINE 
BLIGHTLESS STOCK. They make beautiful shad-e trees for yard, and one or more 
should be in every Home Orchard.
