Sheldon , A large, round, russet and red 
—-- pear of very fine quality, melt¬ 
ing, rich and delicious. Tree vigorous, erect 
and handsome, bears well and should be more 
largely planted. Oct. 
Seckel. A beautiful and delicious little 
--— Pear that is the standard of excel¬ 
lence in its class. One of the richest and 
highest flavored Pears known, always in de¬ 
mand for desserts and luncheons and better 
known than any Pear of its class. The tree 
makes a somewhat slow but stout and erect 
growth. Sept, and Oct. 
Vermont Beauty. This is one of the newer 
varieties, but one which should not be over¬ 
looked when picking out the different kinds 
you want to set. The tree originated in 
Northern Vermont and is very hardy and 
thrifty. October and November. 
Wilder. One of the very earliest pears, attrac¬ 
tively colored and of excellent quality; this 
new variety always finds a sale in market 
and is largely grown by commercial orchard- 
ists. Of medium to large size, irregular, 
bell-shaped, but with smooth surface; pale 
yellow with shadings of russet-red. The tree 
bears good crops early and annually. Early 
August. 
Dealing direct with us, 
the growers, is a sure 
way to get fresh dug 
trees, which is essential 
for best results.

Gentlemen: — The 175 
apples, 150 peaches, 120 
pears and 110 cherries ar¬ 
rived in good shape and I 
have trenched them in to¬ 
day. They are the finest 
lot of trees I ever bought 
from any nursery. I don’t 
see how you grow them so 
large at the age stated. 
I suppose I ought to use 
some kind of a fertilizer at 
planting time, as my land 
is old pasture land. I have 
raw limestone on hand and 
hai'd wood ashes, and will 
do my part to have them set 
out well, and I know they 
will all live. 
Yours respectfully, 
W. N. Denfett.
