PEAR TREES 
SELECT 2 YEAR OLDS 
BEST FOR THE HOME ORCHARD 
Pears grow well wherever apples succeed. They 3 TO 4-FT. 
are particularly adaptable for the small gar- TREES 
den because they thrive in sod and so may be „ 
planted right in the lawn. They prefer heavy 1® 
clay and clay loams. Here their growth is 
somewhat slow, but they are more resistant to ~ Each 
blight. Garden Club prices—fully one-third PREPAID 
lower than most nurseries ask—should be all 
the inducement needed to add a Pear tree to your garden. 
Every home should have at least one Garden Club Pear tree. 
Listed in Order of Maturity 
Clapp's Favorite—287 PJ 10065 —Clapp’s is a seedling of Bartlett—matches 
it in quality and flavor and is hardy throughout the pear growing area of the 
middle west. It is a big, delicious fruit, pale yellow flecked russet, rating 
“fancy” on the market because of its attractive long form and sweet, full 
flavor. Ripens in August. 
Bartlett—287 PJ 10066 —In most sections Bartlett always will be the favor¬ 
ite—an old reliable Pear of exceptionally fine flavor. It flourishes everywhere 
except in the farther north regions, growing those big, characteristically yellow 
Pears, flushed rosy on the “sun side,” very juicy and rich in flavor. Few 
fruits are so meltingly delicious just fresh from the tree. Ripens in September. 
Seckel—287 PJ 10067 —Called the “Sugar Pear” because of its full, rich 
Pear flavor. It is somewhat late—September and early October; a small, 
yellowish russet fruit with red cheek and firm fine grained white flesh. It is 
classed as a “dessert” pear on the market, and considered best for canning 
by most home growers. Tree is exceptionally hardy and resistant to disease. 
Kieffer — 287 PJ 10068 —This is the choice of the large commercial planters 
—a sure crop, a heavy yield of excellent shippers. It is the most widely 
planted winter Pear—sometimes called the “Winter Bartlett” because of its 
size, good quality and excellent flavor. Pick your Kieflfers before they are 
fully ripe, store in a cool, dark place—they mature into Pears of rich, full 
flavor, ideal for home canning. Ripen late—October and November. 
Anjou —(Buerre D’Anjou) 287 PJ 10069 —Many consider this the best of 
all the winter Pears. It is large, greenish yellow with dull red cheek, almost 
spicy in flavor with very white flesh, firm, fine grained and full of juice. Keeps 
splendidly. Ripens in October for the January market.
