Favorite or Flemish Beauty for midseason. Duchess

the Middle West, keeps well and is extra good for can¬

LilIlCOlIl flushed with bright red, makes a wonder¬

ties, and owing to all its good features, is becoming 
popular very rapidly. Add 10c per tree to above prices. 
Bose Winter Pear 
Extra large, long and taper¬ 
ing. It keeps for a long 
time, and therefore makes a good shipper. The trees 
are perfectly hardy here, they grow vigorously and 
bear very well. Bose Winter Pear and Lincoln are the 
two outstanding fancy pears introduced in recent 
years, and tested so thoroughly that we can recom¬ 
mend them to our customers. 
DWARF PEARS 
If your space for trees is limited, as in the 
town gardens, we are calling your special at¬ 
tention to these Dwarf Pear trees. 
These trees are grown on a root stock that will tend 
to make low, well branched trees, known as dwarf 
trees. They can be planted as close together as 12 
feet. The trees are just as hardy as the standard 
pears, the fruit just as -well developed, but usually the 
Dwarf Pear tree begins to bear the third year. We 
can furnish you the following varieties in dwarf trees: 
PRICE 
We have these trees in the 3 to 4(/ 2 ft. size, well 
rooted, partly branched, at 85c each; 3 for $2.35; 10 
for $7.00 prepaid. 
O The fine early eating pear, and the tree 
Hell is hardy anywhere in Nebraska. For eat¬ 
ing we recommend Bartlett and Seckel.
