DELiCIOUS PEARS 
They should be picked before entirely ripe and put in a cool, 
dark place to ripen. Pears do fine in sod and the poorer soils. 
They grow upright and do not need much room. It is best to 
plant several varieties so they can cross-pollenize. 
Our prices are so low that no home now need be without this 
most delicious of tree fruits. We bud our trees on hardy pear 
stock and we have never seen trees with such fine roots as we 
produce. 
BARTLETT —The leading summer pear, large, 
clear yellow with blush on sunny side, juicy, 
sweet and highest quality. 
DOUCLAS —A fall pear that originated in 
Kansas, bears very young, generally 
next year after planting. We have

variety being killed by blight. The

der, juicy and good flavor.
