Brown's Approved Standard and Dwarf Pear Trees 
Pear trees are known as standard trees and dwarf trees. Since the dwarf tree when fully matured, is considerably smaller 
than the standard tree, it comes into bearing much younger, and is valuable for city lots and borne gardens where space is 
limited. Both the standard and dwarf trees produce fruit of the same size, and the varieties listed below offer you the finest in their 
various classes. Note: 1 'arieties “starred” (*) can be supplied also in dwarf trees. They are budded on Quince roots. 
*Bartlett. Standard and dwarf. August and September. Large, 
colored when fully ripe, to waxen yellow, with red blush. The 
fruit is juicy, with a luscious flavor, and makes an excellent 
eating and canning variety. 
Beurre Bose. Standard only. September and October. Also known 
as Bose Pear. The fruit is regarded high quality, with yellow 
brownish color, odd, long shape. When once established are very 
vigorous growers. 
*Beurre d’Anjou. October to January. A large greenish Pear, 
shaded with russet-crimson. Standard and dwarf varieties. The 
flesh is very juicy, sweet and spicy. 
*CIapp’s Favorite. Standard and dwarf. A late summer variety 
to precede Bartlett, which it closely resembles in size, shape, 
color and flavor. One of the finest for market. Fruit is of uniform 
size, very hardy.
