GREEN’S QUALITY TREES, ROCHESTER, N. Y. 
Clapp’s Favorite Pear 
Clapp’s Favorite, (standard and Dwarf.) A profit- 
-* able early variety; a prolific 
and early bearer. This is without doubt the most product¬ 
ive pear in cultivation. Brings big money at Green’s Fruit 
Farm. Season August, earlier than Bartlett. 
CLAPP’S FAVORITE PEAR GROWN IN HEDGE ROW 
In the hedge row of pear trees extending across our garden* 
most of the trees being about 3 feet apart, there is one tree 
of Clapp’s Favorite pear from which we have just picked, 
September 13th, three bushels of beautiful pears. This 
variety is an abundant bearer of unblemished fruit which 
meets with a read}’’ sale. It has few competitors as it ripens 
about a week earlier than Bartlett. I pick these pears before 
they are dead ripe. No pear should be left upon the tree 
until it is yellow and soft. 
Worden Seckel. (Standard and Dwarf.) This 
_— beautiful and delicious pear at¬ 
tracted wide attention when introduced recently. In quality 
it is rated very high. A seedling of the Seckel, which for 
many years has been conceded to be the standard of excel¬ 
lence. 'Equal in quality to its famous parent, which it much 
resembles in flavor, is equally as luscious, more juicy, and with 
an aroma equally as rich and inviting, while in size, color, form 
and appearance it is decidedly superior. Grown under like 
conditions, it will average a half larger. Tree a more upright 
and rapid grower than Seckel; hardy and an enormous bearer; 
fruit keeps well, retaining its quality to the last. October. 
Flemish Beauty. (Standard and Dwarf.) A large, 
-— beautiful, melting, sweet pear. 
Tree very hardy, vigorous and fruitful. Flesh is tender, juicy 
and highly flavored. Season September and October. 
Varieties of pears arranged according to season of ripen¬ 
ing—earliest first, the latest keepers last.

Beurre Bose Pears—Highest Quality 
Gans Early. (Standard and Dwarf.) A fine new 
—— -— early pear, ripening a week to ten days 
before Bartlett. It is large and handsome, pyriform in 
shape, color yellow, with slightly brownish cheek. Flesh 
fine grained, melting, very juicy, sweet, sugary, quality very 
good. It shoe’s no tendency to rot at the core. Tree a vigor¬ 
ous grower. Season September. 
Green’s Nursery Co.: I have had fine fruit this year. My dwarf pears 
were a wonder to every person passing my home. When neighbors ask me 
where I cot my trees I tell them from Green's Nursery Company of Roches¬ 
ter, N. Y. A Patron. 
BoSC. (Beurre Bose.) Standard only. Very large, a 
--- beautiful russet colored pear, with a very dis¬ 
tinct shape, having a very long neck, of very high quality, 
having a distinct rather melting, buttery flavor. 7'his pear 
is generally conceded to be a very high quality pear. It is a 
good grower, but on account of being difficult to propagate in 
the nursery row is seldom offered for sale by nurserymen. 
No home fruit garden is complete without this variety. Our 
supply is limited. We grow it as a standard tree only, as 
it does not do well when grown as a dwarf on quince roots. 
October 1st, I picked three bushels of Bose pears from one 
tree in my garden hedge row, all trees only three feet apart 
in row.
