Fohihe convenience of out customers, we have printed in heavy type the names of the best 
and most profitable varieties. 
The Planting of Pears is on the increase, so 
much so that it has been difficult for us to 
supply the demand. This is especially true 
of Bartlett, Clapp’s, Kieffer and Seckel which 
are the leaders and in the order as named. 
Succession of Varieties. By judicious selec¬ 
tion of varieties, a constant succession can be 
obtained so that you will have pears contin¬ 
uously from July to early Spring. 
Soil. Pears will succeed best in a clayey soil, 
although any good heavy soil will do, but 
avoid planting on sandy loam. 
Bartlett . Large, coloring when fully ripe 
-to waxen yellow with red blush ; 
juicy, melting, highly flavored, a most delic¬ 
ious fruit; tree beais early and abundantly. 
We have sold many large orchards of this var¬ 
iety. The fruit ripens just at a time when 
there is but little competition; in fact, there 
is no pear ripening at the same time that is 
in the Bartlett class. It might surprise you 
to know—nevertheless it is a fact—that there 
are more of this variety planted than all other 
kinds of pears combined. That speaks for 
itself, does it not? You will never make a 
mistake when planting Bartlett. Sept. 
Beurre D’ Anjou. This is one of the best 
--- known, most popular 
and profitable late pear. The tree is a vig¬ 
orous grower, hardy and prolific. The pears 
are of large size, green in color, but often 
yellowing when thoroughly ripe. They are 
very juicy and luscious and of the best qual¬ 
ity. For late fall and very early winter use, 
we have no better variety. Oct. to Jan. 
Beurre Clairgeau. Large; light yellow, 
-- shaded with crimson 
and russe.t. Flesh yellowish, melting. Free, 
early, abundant bearer. Nov. to Jan. 
Beurre Bose. A large and beautiful rus- 
- set pear, very distinct with 
a long neck; melting or nearly so, highly 
flavored and delicious, bears well, ripens in 
October. The demand has been so heavy we 
have been unable to offer two year trees of 
this variety, selling all at one year old. We 
will have an exceptionally splendid lot of 
sturdy one year buds 3 feet and up for this 
spring’s delivery. Wholesale price 30c 
each, $2.50 per TO, $20.00 per TOO.
