Pear Trees 
When pear trees are heavily laden they should 
be thinned out when about one-third grown, 
else the fruit will be poor and the tree in¬ 
jured. The dwarf varieties are especially rec¬ 
ommended. as they are good growers, coming 
into bearing very young, sometimes while yet 
in the nursery rows. Longer lived, of strong¬ 
er growth and not so subject to blight. Price, 
75c each; $6.50 per 10. 
Ivieffer 
Early Harvest—Medium size, greenish-yellow T , 
sweet and juicy. July. 
Bartlett—One of the most popular varieties. 
It is an excellent eating pear; flesh tender, 
juicy and good, having a rich and delicious 
flavor. 
Ivieffer —Large, golden yellow. Largely plant¬ 
ed for commercial purposes, being an early and 
great yielder. The tree is inclined to break if 
a part of the fruit is not thinned out, which 
will not injure the crop or tree, and by all 
means should be done lest the tree should be 
damaged. 
Seckel—The standard of excellence in pears, 
small but of highest flavor. This and the Bart¬ 
lett are two of the best known dwarf varieties. 
Garber—A well-known variety and a good 
bearer. 
Magnolia—A good bearer, large and valuable 
fruit. The fruit is nearly round in form and 
deep yellow in color, having rich, sweet, juicy 
and excellent flavor. Ripens last of September.

Persimmon trees they also make beautiful or¬ 
namental trees, the foliage being of large size 
and a brilliant, lasting green, which, with the 
golden fruit, makes them extremely attractive.
