Bartlett . Large, coloring when fully ripe 
to waxen yellow with red blush ; 
juicy, melting, highly flavored, a most delic¬ 
ious fruit; tree bears early and abundantly. 
We have sold many large orchards of this va¬ 
riety. 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. Sept. 
Beurre D 9 Angola. 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 russet. Flesh yellowish, melting. Free, 
early, abundant bearer. Nov. to Jan.

Price 29c each, $2.50 pet' 10 ; $20.00

Clapp 9 s Favorite. This is without doubt 
- the most productive 
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 Bart¬ 
lett 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 pos¬ 
sible results. Early August.

-p e n d a b 1 e 
cropper, often fruiting the first season after 
planting. Fruit large, frequently weighing a 
pound. A dull greenish yellow, spotted rus¬ 
set, flesh white, rich and good quality. An all- 
around profitable market pear. Oct. and Nov. 
Flemish Beauty. This fine old Pear is 
- s ti] ] 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. September and October. 
Garher. One of the Japan Hybrids ; larger than 
Kieffer; hardy, productive, early bearer; ex¬ 
cellent for canning. September and October. 
Howell. Large, yellow, with red cheek; early 
bearer and productive. Sept, and Oct. 
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. 
The fruit is of high color and great beauty 
and sells more readily than fruits of better 
quality. October to November. 
Koonce . A very popular early variety. Fruit 
large, yellow, one-half nearly covered with 
red. Does not rot at the core. Tree vigor¬

' ' low, with melting, aromatic 
flesh. Unsurpassed as an early winter Pear.

bearing large crops annually. Nov. and Dec.

‘ ;- pear of very fine quality, melt¬ 
ing, rich and delicious. Tree vigorous, erect 
and handsome, bears well and should be more 
largely planted. October.

- Pear that is the standard of excel¬ 
lence in its class. One of the richest and 
highest flavored Pears known. 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. The 
tree bears good crops early and annually.
