BARTLETT — This is the most popu¬ 
lar summer pear, both for home use and 
market, which the world has ever known. 
It comes into bearing at an early age, 
and bears enormous crops of large and 
handsome fruit, juicy, buttery and melt¬ 
ing, with a rich, fine flavor; a delicious 
eating pear, and makes the finest of canned 
fruit. The Bartlett may be picked before 
it has attained its full size and will ripfcn

quality. However, it should always be 
picked before it is fully ripe.

Dwarf Pear Trees 
The dwarf varieties require less than one-fifth the space necessary 
for the standard varieties, and though the tree is dwarf, the fruit is the 
same size as standard, and is borne in large quantities. It is valuable 
both for the home garden and orchard planting for commercial purposes. 
It is a good filler for apple or standard pear orchards, because it is an 
early bearer and takes up but a small space. Trees should be planted 
ten feet apart. We can furnish the following varieties m Dwarl (for 
description see standard varieties). 
Anjou, Bartlett, Clapp’s Favorite, Flemish and Seckel.
