PEAR TREES 
BLIGHT RESISTANT 
SUPERIOR QUALITY 
because 
THEY ARE GROWN ON USSURIENSIS STOCK 
The one great drawback to growing pears has been blight. For years experi¬ 
ments with methods of growing and stocks have been conducted and now after 
a pretty fair test it has been proven that the trees grown on Ussuriensis stock are 
blight resistant enough to warrant planting pears extensively again. 
2 year, extra fine on Ussuriensis stock, 75c each; 3 for $1.75; 10 for $5.00.
