Kieffer Pear 
Pears 
This fruit should be more widely planted, notwith¬ 
standing its susceptibility to fire-blight. There are blight- 
resistant varieties, but those which we have thus far known 
are inferior in quality, and unless grown on very hardy 
stocks or roots, have been seriously injured by cold. 
The two old stand-bys are still with us, and so far as 
we know, everything considered, have not been bettered. 
Kieffer. Fruit large; yellow with russet-vermilion cheek; 
flesh coarse and suitable only for cooking. Very prolific 
and rather blight-resistant. Ripens late. 
Leconte. Fruit large, of extra-fine quality, ripens in July. 
One of the very best eating Pears.

Figs 
Celeste. The best all-round Fig, in our opinion, because it 
is relatively hardy and has a high sugar content. Fruit 
rich purplish brown, very juicy. Free of disease or 
insect pests, and very prolific. Practically never fails.
