Bartlett Pear 
The Two Best Varieties of 
These are the two best varieties of pears both for the home 
garden and the orchard. Bartlett is the best variety grown 
as standard trees and the Duchess the best variety grown 
as dwarf trees. Every orchard or garden should have both 
of these varieties. Both of these varieties are of high 
quality and very productive, and always command a good 
price on the market. As commercial varieties they equal the 
Baldwin apple and the Elberta peach in popularity. While 
Pears 
the Bartlett does fairly well on dwarf roots and the Duchess 
on standard roots, the Bartlett seems to be particularly 
adapted to growing on standard roots and the Duchess on 
dwarf roots. There is always a good demand for high quality 
pears and prices are always high enough to net a good profit. 
At present, pears are selling on the market in Montreal and 
Toronto from $5.00 to $8.00 per barrel, with indications that 
prices will even go higher than this.

Green s Nursery Co.: 
Gentlemen: I have oought a number of trees, vines, etc., of 
you in the last few years and every one was fine, well rooted and 
branched. I haven t lost a tree yet. The trees and grape vines 
set out this spring are every one budded. Had barrels of plums 
. c year, and looks like it this year. Green's trees for me every 
time, and everyone else would say the same if they would give 
them a trial. Expect to set out two acres to trees next spring — 
none but Green's either. 
I like the way you pack your trees. 
V ishing you a long life, to keep up the good work and quality 
of Green s Trees, I am 3 
Yours very truly, 
Fred F. York. 
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. This pear 
is generally conceded to be a very high quality pear. It is a 
moderate grower, but on account of being very 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 very limited, and orders for this 
variety should be placed early. We grow it as a standard tree 
only , as it does not do well when grown as a dwarf on quince 
roots. Price: Extra Size, XXX, 75c. each, $6.00 per 10. 
Orchard Size, XX, 60c. each, $5.00 per 10. Smaller 
Size, X, 40c. each, $3.50 per 10. 3 ft. trees by parcel 
post, postage prepaid, 40c. each. 
Dwarf Pear Trees by Parcel Post 
We have some fine trees, well rooted and branched, which 
we can send postage prepaid for 20c. each. See page 57.
