Bartlett—Large; buttery, rich-flavored, 
melting; good grower; flesh white, fine¬ 
grained, luscious. More generally popular 
than any other pear. August and September. 
Bose—We are unable to furnish trees of 
this variety. They are such a poor, crooked 
grower in the nursery that customers are 
usually dissatisfied with the trees. The best 
way to get this variety is to get some other 
strong growing variety and graft over to 
Bose. 
Duchesse D’Angouleme —Large, greenish 
yellow, with patches of russet and a dark red 
cheek. Strong grower and a good bearer. 
Attains greatest perfection when dwarfed on 
quince root. October and November. 
Clapp’s Favorite —Large, attractive, red¬ 
cheeked, good. Resembles Bartlett, but is 
earlier and without its musty flavor. Very 
desirable. 
If you plant Barnes Bros. Nursery Co. fruit trees you will be 
assured of the desired result. Young trees raised on just the 
proper soil for the propagation of rich, luscious fruit bearing trees.
