PEAR (Pyrus) 
Bartlett —This is the best market pear; fruit 
is yellow with bright red cheeks and of fine flavor 
and softens up without becoming mushy; good 
shipper; ripens in August. 
Early Harvest —One of the earliest; yellow, 
good for table use, meat fine grained; softens on 
the tree; heavy bearer, healthy tree. 
Garber —About the size of Kieffer but ripens in 
August and the fruit resembles Le Conte in the 
softer texture of the meat. 
Kieffer —Fruit large, yellow with red cheek; 
heavy bearer and not subject to blight; because 
this pear does not ripen on the tree it is considered 
only a cooking pear; if allowed to remain on the 
tree until October and then carefully picked and 
each pear wrapped in a separate sheet of paper and 
then packed into a box, it will soon cure up and 
soften; then it is a most delicious table pear. 
Le Conte- —A very prolific bearer; ripens in 
July; often the fruit softens on the tree; it can, 
however, be eaten if not entirely soft, for the meat 
is of fine texture and very sweet; in size it is some¬ 
what smaller than the Kieffer. 
Pineapple —Excellent preserver ; large, juicy; 
good shipper; when cooked holds white color; 
known for its blight resistanse; ripens in October; 
best suited to that section within 100 to 150 miles 
of the Gulf Coast. 
Summer Beauty —This variety was brought to 
Texas by some of the early settlers from Germany 
and is the one variety of European pears which is 
a success here; ripens very early and is the most 
beautiful pear we can grow here; ripens perfectly 
on the tree and has a most excellent flavor; what¬ 
ever name it may have had in Germany was for¬ 
gotten and so Mr. Otto Locke, Sr., who introduced 
it, named it Summer Beauty. This variety requires 
rather more attention than Kieffer and Le Conte, 
and you may have to wait longer for it to bear, 
but once it bears one is well repaid for the extra 
work and time.

PERSIMMONS (Diospyrus) 
The leading fruit of the lower South. Demand 
increasing far in excess of the supply. 
Tane Nashi —Best known and most popular 
variety: large conical; early bearer and early 
ripening. 
Yemon —Large, tomato shape; somewhat four¬ 
sided ; generally seedless. 
Gailey —The fruit is small and we recommend 
it only "for planting with other kinds for cross¬ 
pollination purposes. 
Hachiya —Very large conical fruit of bright 
orange-red, with sweet, rich, mellow flesh; astrin¬ 
gent until ripe and then very fine indeed; a large 
well-grown Hachiya persimmon is one of the most 
beautiful fruits grown; most of the fruits seen in 
the markets are of this variety. 
Tamopan —A very large fruit, flattened, often 
5 inches in diameter, weighing over a pound and 
oddly marked by a crease completely around the 
stem end; deep golden red in color; ripens late. 
Triumph —Its quality is the best; size medium, 
tomato shaped; color of skin dark red, handsome 
and showy; flesh with but few seeds; it is very 
productive. 
Hyakume —Large, round; skin orange-red ; flesh 
brown or dark; very sweet. 
Eureka —Medium, tomato shaped, nearly seed¬ 
less. yellow flesh ; attractive red skin, good shipper ; 
highest quality, edible while still hard.

QUINCES 
The Quince is one of the finest fruits for pre¬ 
serves and since it will bear a large crop in almost 
any location and with very little care, there should 
be a few trees in every family orchard. 
Champion —Again the name means much; it 
might well be the champion anywhere; cooks as 
tender as an apple and has a delicate flavor which 
it imparts to any other fruit that is cooked with it. 
Orange —The name describes the looks of the 
fruit; flesh is yellow, fine texture, juicy and 
well flavored.

PLUMS (Prunus) 
Most varieties of Plums will bear heavier crops 
if certain other varieties are planted nearby as 
pollinizers; Burbank and Wickson successfully pol¬ 
linate the blossoms of most varieties, as well as 
each other, and we advise including some of these 
sorts in all plum plantings. 
Apex Plumcot —June; this fruit, as its name 
indicates, is a cross between the Apricot and the 
Plum; the big globular pink and red fruit has rich 
aromatic honey-yellow flesh; one of the earliest. 
Bruce —June 5: large, red, productive; a hybrid 
originated by Mr. A. L. Bruce of Donley County, 
Texas; on account of early ripening, large size, 
firm shipping quality, productiveness and delicious¬ 
ness of flavor, we believe we should have to con¬ 
sider this the most profitable of all plums. 
Burbank —June 15; fruit large, firm, red; 
youngest bearer and very prolific. 
Burbank’s Elephant Heart Plum —World’s best 
freestone blood-fleshed plum; largest known plum; 
a plum that you can break and eat like a peach— 
with blood-red flesh as exquisitely luscious as that 
of an Oxlieart. Cherry; huge size, often big as a 
small peach; skin smooth as a nectarine’s: free¬ 
stone like an apricot. 
Excelsion —July 1: purplish red, large: suc¬ 
ceeds far South; annual bearer everywhere.
