Best Pear Trees 
The home orchard is not complete without pears and they are a very profit' 
able commercial crop in nearly all parts of the country. Pears will live on a 
variety of soils, but succeed exceptionally well in a hard clay soil. Tilling and 
fertilising are advisable to a certain extent, but should not be carried far enough 
to produce too vigorous a growth. The quality of the pear is much improved 
by picking before maturity and by proper ripening indoors. 
Big profits are realized from pear orchards—our trees produce first grade 
fruit. 
Bartlett. Large sise, with a beautiful blush next the sun; buttery, very juicy 
and high flavored; tree a strong grower and a young and abundant bearer. 
August and September. 
Kieffer’s Hybrid. Originated near Philadelphia. Supposed to be a seedling of 
a Chinese Sand Pear crossed with the Bartlett. Size large, very handsome; 
skin yellow with a bright vermilion cheek; very juicy, with a musk aroma; 
quality good when ripened to perfection. Rather coarse grained, but one of 
the best pears for canning or preserving. As near blight proof as a pear can 
be called. 
Garber. Equally as hardy as Le Conte or Kieffer. Upright grower. Fruit large, 
roundish. Skin greenish yellow, becoming fine yellow at maturity, often 
lightly shaded with crimson and fawn in the sun. Flesh white, fine melting, 
a little buttery, juicy, sweet, rich, slightly aromatic. Very good. October 
to November.

Plum Trees 
for Profit 
No other fruit tree, unless it is the cherry, will 
produce more abundantly than a Plum tree. Ah 
though they will yield crop after crop despite 
neglect. Plum trees will readily show the result of 
care and modern methods of fruit growing. The 
commercial side of Plum production has received 
much attention in late years but the supply still 
falls far short of the demand. In general. Plum 
trees thrive best in a sandy or clayey soil. A dis¬ 
tance of 16 to 18 feet apart is considered the best 
for Plum trees with the distance increased to 20 
feet where a wagon spraying outfit is used. Many 
varieties of Plum produce so abundantly that the 
best results will be obtainable only by careful 
thinning. If allowed to grow naturally the 
trees will be weakened and the quality of the 
fruit will be inferior. We can recommend to 
the planter the following varieties: 
ABUNDANCE. A nearly pinkish red Plum; 
ripens in midseason. Thrives anywhere. 
A regular and heavy bearer. No orchard is 
complete without it. 
BURBANK. Tree a vigorous grower; early 
and very heavy bearer; fruit very large; 
yellowish ground, with red cheek in the sun; 
flesh yellow, firm and very sweet when full 
ripe; extremely small pit. Middle of June. 
LOMBARD. Medium, violet-red, juicy, good, hardy and exceedingly productive; we 
call it the favorite canning Plum, sells high on the market. Ripens August. 
RED JUNE. Large, showy, and beautiful. Bright cherry-red color. Flesh is yellow, 
firm, juicy, sweet, and very delicious. 
SHROPSHIRE DAMSON. Largest of the Damson class, is much used for preserving; 
tree vigorous and productive, brings good prices on market. 
WICKSON. Largest of all so-called Japan Plums, color bright red, pit very small, 
flesh thick, sweet, tender; good keeper, and very productive. 
GERMAN PRUNE. Large, dark purple, sweet. One of the best for canning. Excel 
lent for drying. Plant a few trees and dry your own for winter use. Ripens in 
September. 
CHATTIN. This is one of the most beautiful of the stone fruits. A thrifty grower 
soon making a fine head, producing an abundance of fruit. Largest site; skin yellow; 
flesh yellow, very sweet; first class for canning and a good bearer. September. 
GREEN GAGE. A medium small greenish yellow Plum of high quality. One of the 
best of American sorts. Midseason.
