Clapp’s Favorite. This is without 
- doubt the most pro¬ 
ductive Pear on the market. A superb large, 
long yellow Pear, richly flushed, with russet- 
red next the sun. The flesh is fine grained, 
juicy, melting and buttery. A cross between 
Bartlett and Flemish Beauty; earlier than 
Bartlett and resembling Flemish Beauty in 
growth. It is as hardy as the Flemish Beauty ; 
a fine grower and extremely productive. 
Our trees of this variety are exceptionally 
fine, for they were grown on our new farm, 
situated at an elevation of 1500 feet, which 
insures you of receiving hardy, healthy and 
vigorous trees, from which you are bound to 
get the best possible results. Early Aug. 
Duchess D’ Angouleme. Amostde- 
- pendable 
cropper, often fruiting the first season after 
planting. Fruit large, frequently weighing 
a pound. A dull greenish yellow, spotted 
russet, flesh white, rich and good quality. 
An all around profitable market pear. Oct.

Flemish Beauty. This fine old Pear is 
--- stiil one of the hard¬ 
iest and most generally successful over a wide 
range of country, producing good crops an¬ 
nually of large, handsome fruit that is ex¬ 
ceptionally good in quality. Considered one 
of the hardiest and best for the northwest in 
which location it bears great crops of perfect 
fruit. Sept, and Oct.

Kieffer; hardy, productive, early bearer; ex¬ 
cellent for canning. September and October.

bearer and productive. September and 
October. 
Kieffer. Large, rich golden yellow, some- 
—- times tinted red on the sun-exposed 
side; fair quality, excellent for canning. It 
has become a profitable market variety on ac¬ 
count of its good shipping and keeping qual¬ 
ities. To properly ripen should remain on 
the trees until leaves begin to fall, then gather 
carefully and allow to ripen in a cool dark 
cellar, or other place of even temperature. 
Tree a most vigorous grower, an early bearer, 
one of the most resistant to blight, very pro¬ 
lific, and widely planted throughout the coun¬ 
try. The tree is so hardy and free from in¬ 
sect pests as to give it greater value than most 
other varieties. The fruit is of high color 
and great beauty and sells more readily than, 
fruits of better quality. Oct. to Nov.

large, iyellow, one-half nearly covered with 
red. Does not rot at the core. Tree vigor¬ 
ous, hardy and upright grower. Very pro¬ 
ductive and a good shipper. July.
