138 Richard Frotscher’s Almanac and Garden Manual 
This new Southern pear is as vigorous in growth as the China 
Sand, and is an enormous bearer. The fruit is large, pale yellow, 
juicy melting and of good quality, doing better in the South than 
elsewhere. It bears transportation well, and commands the highest 
prices at the North. Time of ripening begins about the middle of 
July. So far this pear has never been known to blight. It promises 
to be the pear for the South. 
Price, 82.00 per hundred, by Express or freight. Postage extra by 
mail. 
All choice varieties of nursery stock can be obtained and furnished 
at reasonable rates on application.
