HENDERSON’S SPECIAL PEAR When do 
pears bear? If you plant this one you can say 
NOW, Fully one half of the one year, 2 to 6 
foot trees in the nursery rows bore big fine crisp 
yellow pears this year. If you prefer, say “send 
me trees that had pears” and you can see where 
they were pulled off. The quality is good. Ripe 
last of August and September. It has been ab¬ 
solutely proof against blight. New fruits with 
not half the merit of this usually sell for high 
prices. 
DOUGLAS. A new pear originating in Kan¬ 
sas. One year trees often carry a cluster of pears 
in the nursery row. It seems to be doing well 
all over the southwest. Good quality, ripe in 
late summer.
