FROM THE N. Y. AGRICULTURAL EXPERIMENT STATION 
GORHAM 
A Blight Resistant Pear to Follow Bartlett 
These three new Pears—Cayuga, Gorham, and Pulteney embody high 
quality., size, attractive appearance and good tree characters. Their 
characteristics meet requirements much desired in pear varieties—and 
they are truly IN LINE WITH PROGRESS. 
AY lift A These pears average as large as those of 
Bartlett but with the delectable flavor, shape, 
and color of Seckel — its parent. The tree characters seem all 
that could be desired. Those who have Cayuga now in fruiting 
are enthusiastic in their praise of this variety. 
GORHAM.PULTENEY *“■3 a Z 
Bartlett type, witn the same high quality and attractive ap¬ 
pearance. Gorham ripens two weeks later than Bartlett and 
keeps a month longer. Flavor is sweet and with a pleasing 
aroma. Flesh is white, tender, buttery, and juicy — a com¬ 
bination which, with the rich flavor and spicy aroma makes 
this one of the very best flavored pears of its season. Can- 
ners find it superior to Bartlett. Pulteney ripens about four 
weeks later than Bartlett thus extending the season of de¬ 
licious high quality and attractive pears well into the winter 
season. These are three outstanding pears and you will want 
them for their high quality, productiveness and for profit. 
They certainly provide a long season of delicious fruit for 
the home or market.
