New 
Zachman Pear 
The Zachman pear tree was 
originated here in our own 
nursery, and lias undergone 
and successfully met with the 
most rigid test, comprising of 
19 years through Minnesota, 
at Carterton, Canada and Far¬ 
go, Mo. Dakota. We watched 
these trees closely for eighteen 
years, and never observed any 
winter injury. 
Mr. Tait, Carterton, Canada, 
writes: “You can fully recom¬ 
mend the Zachman pear tree 
to be hardy and blight resist¬ 
ant. The fruit is larger than 
anything I have in my trial 
ground of over fifty varieties. 
The fruit is of good quality, 
and has very little grit.” 
LARGE, SMOOTH, EARLY 
WITH GOOD COLOR 
Yes, our pear is the largest 
of the hardy pears, and is 
equal in quality to the most of 
them. The tree is spreading 
in. growth with large, healthy 
foliage. It blooms a week 
earlier than the Wealthy ap¬ 
ple. The fruit is large, smooth 
and of regular pear shape. It 
colors when ripe to a light yel¬ 
low with red cheek. The skin 
is rather thick, making it an 
excellent shipper. Flesh very 
tender and juicy without grit. 
The Zachman pear is an excel¬ 
lent eating and canning pear. 
Season, October. Keeps until 
December. 
PROFESSOR HANSON OF 
SOUTH DAK, WRITES: 
“My opinion is that success¬ 
ful pear culture for home and 
market use is now possible for 
all South Dakota and Prairie 
Northwest, also for Southern 
'Manitoba and Saskatchewan.”
