• HARDY MENDEL PEAR 
We are offering you this hardy Pear because 
it has been planted without protection and not 
frozen back an inch in seventeen years. Perfectly 
hardy. May be grown anywhere apples will grow. 
The fruit is above medium in size, of A-l 
quality, sweet high flavor, juicy. Color a golden 
yellow, its flowers are self-pollenizing. Fruit 
hangs well to the trees. This pear seems to have 
all the good points necessary for successful pear 
growing. 
• MING PEAR 
A Hansen Hybrid. Flavor delicious, melting; 
a first-class dessert Pear. Fruit, yellow, one and 
five-eighths to two inches in diameter; with 
minute russet dots. Hardy. Very resistant to 
fire blight. 
These pears are strictly hardy, blight-proof, 
*and produce pears of good size and quality, and 
make excellent ornamental trees as well as 
fruit trees. 
• GURNEY’S SUNSHINE PEAR 
This Pear is one of the finest new varieties 
that we have come in contact with in many 
years. It resembles the Bartlett and is probably 
a seedling of that variety. Very hardy and 
blight-resistant. Tree of excellent habit, 
free of thorns, of spreading, upright growth 
with abundance of healthy green foliage. 
• PATTEN PEAR 
Blight-resistant. Originated by Mr. Patten 
in northern Iowa. Sent out by the Agricultural 
Experiment Station in 1919. Upright in growth, 
large healthy foliage. Blooms past midseason. 
Patten Pear 
Fruit medium to large; smooth and regular; 
green turning to yellow as it ripens, often with 
bronze blush. Skin, thin and tender when ripe. 
Flesh very tender, juicy, rich, refreshing. Trees 
very hardy. 
Since the blight-resistant Pears have 
been introduced, it is possible to grow 
Pears in practically any location you can 
grow apples and, in many cases, much 
farther north. In the future, we predict 
that high quality Pears will be grown on 
as many farms as Apples. Blight-resistant, 
hardy varieties will make this possible. 
• EDWARD c. PARKER— (Minn. No. 1) 
The tree is large, vigorous; the fruit is medium 
to large; color yellow with distinct blush; flesh 
tender, almost melting, juicy, sweet, pleasant; 
quality very good; core small; seeds small. 
Season, late September. Blight-resistant. 
• COMMERCIAL PEARS 
FLEMISH BEAUTY—Large, juicy, rich; one 
of the hardiest and most popular. September 
and October. 
KEIFFER — Its large size, handsome appear¬ 
ance and remarkable keeping and shipping quali¬ 
ties make it exceedingly profitable for market. 
ANJOU — The fruit is large, handsome, yel¬ 
low, blushed dull red and of a rich flavor. Tree 
upright, good bearer, strong grower, hardy, 
bears young, blooms late, remarkably free from 
blight. One of the best for the Middle West. 
BARTLETT — One of the most popular pears. 
Fruit is large, buttery and melting, with a rich 
musky flavor, white flesh. Probably the very best 
pear in existence. An early and abundant bearer. 
• DWARF PEARS 
Have proved to be just a little hardier than the 
larger growing type of Commercial or Standard 
Pears. They will often bear within two years 
after transplanting. Plant two or three of these 
along with the other Pears. We offer you these 
in the three best varieties. 
CLAPP’S FAVORITE—Large, rich flavor. . 
DUCHESS—Heavy bearer, sweet, good variety. 
FLEMISH BEAUTY—Large juicy fruit. 
Two-year old trees. Prices Dwarf Pears, 
Each, 00c; 5 for $2.75. 
PEACHES

A JUICY FLAVOR 
ALL THEIR OWN 
• GURNEY’S DAKOTA PEACH 
The hardiest peach in existence has borne 
regular crops for the last five years, hardy in 
both wood and fruit bud, fruit as large as 
Elberta, quality and color very much better. 
We have a very limited supply this season. 
Advise those planting north of Yankton to plant 
this Peach on south side and close up to house or 
fence for protection. 60c each; 5 for $2.50; 
10 for $4.25. 
Gurney’s Dakota 
• MISS SOUTH DAKOTA PEACH 
An extra large hardy, freestone peach. Orig¬ 
inated at Yankton by Mr. A. C. Ellerman. On 
account of this tree's productiveness and hardi¬ 
ness and the high quality of its fruit, it is bound 
to hold first place among hardy Northern 
Peaches. This tree has been growing in the open 
without any protection and has stood the South 
Dakota winters without any indications of 
damage. Each, 60c; 5 for $2.50; 10 for $4.25. 
• J. H. HALE PEACH 
Fruit large, perfect freestone, somewhat 
rounding, golden yellow, covered with carmine, 
skin thick without fuzz, flesh dark yellow, flavor 
excellent. Absolutely the best. Trees extra 
hardy. Bears young and heavy. Ripens five days 
earlier than the Elberta. Price, each 40c; 
per 5, $1.85; per 10, $3.50; per 50, $15.00. 
Peaches cannot be shipped into Canada 
RUSSIAN APRICOTS 
An apricot that is hardy enough in growth to 
stand the rigorous climate of a far northern sec¬ 
tion, the fruit buds killed some winters depend¬ 
ing on conditions, but fruited in Iowa often 
enough to make them a desirable addition to 
the fruit list. The apricot is a very rapid grow¬ 
ing beautiful tree, loading itself with large 
annual crops in localities where the fruit buds 
do not kill. I do not advise it for trial North of 
Yankton. 4 to 5 ft., 60c each; 5 for $2.75; 
10 for $5.00. 
GURNEY'S NEW HARDY APRICOT 
For 16 years the mother tree has been bearing 
quality, large sized fruit in S. W. Minnesota. 
Each year, it lias borne a heavy crop of juicy, 
well colored apricots. We have a limited number 
to offer this year. Not over 3 to a customer, 
Ea., $1.00; 3 for $2.50.
