• HARDY MENDEL PEAR 
We are offering you this hardy Pear because 
we have received so many reports from the 
Northern country. Has been planted without 
protection and not frozen back an inch in 
seventeen years. Perfectly hardy. May be 
grown anywhere apples will grow. 
The fruit is above medium in size, of A-l 
quality, sweet high flavor, juicy. Color a golden 
yellow, its flowers are self-pollenizing. Fruit 
hangs well to the trees. This pear seems to have 
all the good points necessary for successful pear 
growing.

A Hansen Hybrid. Flavor delicious, melting; 
a first-class dessert Pear. Fruit, yellow, one and 
five-eighths to two inches in diameter; with 
minute russet dots. Hardy. Very resistant to 
fire blight. 
These pears are strictly hardy, blight-proof, 
and produce pears of good size and quality, and 
will be excellent ornamental trees as well as 
fruit trees.

Experiment Station in 1919. Upright in growth, 
large healthy foliage. Blooms past midseason.

THEY ARE 
BLIGHT 
RESISTANT 
Since the blight-resistant 
Pears have been introduced, it is 
possible to grow Pears in prac¬ 
tically any location you can grow 
apples and, in many cases, much 
farther north. In the future, we 
predict that high quality Pears 
will be grown on as many farms 
as Apples. Blight-resistant, 
hardy varieties will make this 
possible. 
Mendel Pear 
tender, almost melting, juicy, sweet, pleasant; 
quality very good; core small; seeds small. 
Season, late September. Blight-resistant. 
• GURNEY'S SUNSHINE 
PEAR 
This Pear is one of the finest 
new varieties that we have come 
in contact with in many years. 
It resembles the Bartlett and is 
probably a seedling of that 
variety. Very hardy and blight- 
resistant. Tree of excellent habit, 
free of thorns, of spreading, upright growth with 
an abundance of healthy green foliage.

PEACHES 
YOU CAN 
GROW THEM 
A JUICY FLAVOR 
ALL THEIR OWN 
• CHAMPION PEACH 
Free-stone, fruit large, flavor delicious, sweet 
rich and juicy, skin creamy white and red 
cheeks. One of the hardiest varieties on the 
Gurney's Dakota 
market. Ripens in August. Price, each 40c; 
per 5, $1.85; per 10, $3.50; per 50, $15.00. 
• GURNEY'S DAKOTA PEACH 
The hardiest peach in existence has borne 
regular crops for the last five years, hardy in 
both wood and fruit bud, fruit as large as 
Elberta, quality and color very much better. 
We have a very limited supply this season. 
Advise those planting north of Yankton to plant 
this Peach on south side and close up to house or 
fence for protection. 60c each; 5 for $2.50; 
10 for $4.25. 
• MISS SOUTH DAKOTA PEACH 
An extra large hardy, freestone peach. Orig¬ 
inated at Yankton by Mr. A. C. Ellerman. On 
account of this tree’s productiveness and hardi¬ 
ness and the high quality of its fruit, it is bound 
to hold first place among hardy Northern 
Peaches. This tree has been growing in the open 
without any protection and has stood the South 
Dakota winters without any indications of 
damage. Each, 60c; 5 for $2.50; 10 for $4.25. 
• J. H. HALE PEACH 
Fruit large, perfect freestone, somewhat 
rounding, golden yellow, covered with carmine, 
skin thick without fuzz, flesh dark yellow, flavor 
excellent. Absolutely the best. Trees extra 
hardy. Bears young and heavy. Ripens five days 
earlier than the Alberta. Price, each 40c; 
per 5, $1.85; per 10, $3.50; per 50, $15.00. 
Peaches cannot be shipped into Canada 
RUSSIAN APRICOTS 
An apricot that is hardy enough in growth to 
stand the.rigorous climate of a far northern sec¬ 
tion, the fruit buds killed some winters depend¬ 
ing on conditions, but fruited in Iowa often 
enough to make them a desirable addition to 
the fruit list. The apricot is a very rapid grow¬ 
ing beautiful tree, loading itself with large 
annual crops in localities where the fruit buds 
do not kill. I do not advise it for trial North of 
Yankton. 4 to 5 ft., 60c each; 5 for $2.75; 
10 for $5.00.
