The Hardiest and Best Fruiting Varieties I 
Could Select for You 
These two fine kinds are just as hardy as the hardiest Peaches. 
Plant one of each in order to secure the biggest yield and the most 
delicious fruit. Plant Apricots on a north or west slope 15 to 20 feet 
apart. 
CHINESE YELLOW APRICOT. Hardiest of all. About 80% of the 
commercial Apricot plantings in Utah and Idaho are of this variety. 
Commercial planters like it because of its hardiness, its strong, vigor¬ 
ous growing habits, and heavy, early bearing qualities. 
The fruit is all of the highest quality, deep yellow with a wonder¬ 
ful red cheek. The fruit is large, 2 inches in diameter, and by prun¬ 
ing the tree back each season, it produces heavy annual crops. The same Apricots that are used by 
commercial canners can be raised in your own back yard or your fruit orchard if you plant Chinese.

WENATCHEE. This is another new and very productive Apricot for the Middle West. We consider it 
superior to any other variety we have ever tried, except the famous Chinese. It’s very hardy, too. 
Starts fruiting early; bears large crops, and has large fruit. One of these planted with your Chinese 
Yellow increases the productivity of both. Wenatchee is very sweet, and very delicious for eating off 
the tree.

BARTLETT. A summer Pear; 
large, rich golden yellow with 
a soft blush- One of the finest 
for canning and shipping. 
Bartlett is the Pear by which 
all others are judged. 
KIEFPER. The best known and 
most widely planted winter 
Pear, of extra large size. Rich 
golden color tinted with red. 
When full ripe is fine for can¬ 
ning and baking. The tree is a 
very vigorous and hardy 
grower. 
l-jJI 
SUGAR, PEAR (Seckel). The delicious sweet satisfying 
flavor gives it the name of Sugar Pear. One of the best 
dessert and eating Pears grown. Small in size but rich 
in sugar sweetness. 
DOUGLAS. The Blight Proof Pear. A winter Pear of won¬ 
derful quality. Golden yellow in color with a faint blush 
on the cheek. The fruit has a small seed cavity and is 
large and uniform in size. The tree grows vigorously and 
produces large crops every year after starting to bear. 
Douglas bears early, too, so you can start getting fruit 
quickly. A hardy variety for the Northern States. Try it!

Hardy in Farm Belt. I recommend thefh for 
preserves and jelly.

and is especially fine for marmalade, preserves or flavor¬ 
ing purposes.

The Butter Pear 
We’ve never had enough of these trees 
to supply the demand until this year. 
Now I’m able to offer this famous But¬ 
ter Pear to you at a reasonable price. 
However, please order early, as late 
comers may be disappointed. For home 
planting and for marketing this is the 
Pear I would recommend. The color is 
a dark, rich yellow overspread with cin¬ 
namon russet. The flesh is tender and 
melting, or almost buttery. It’s very 
juicy, too, with a rich flavor and a pleas¬ 
ing aroma. A perfectly symmetrical 
growing Pear with a long tapering neck. 
The quality is of the best. It’s hardy, 
too. See prices above.
