BARTLETT. 
Autumn. A golden colored Pear, with a red cheek on most specimens. 
Bartlett mellows and is excellent for eating very early in the fall, yet 
--——-——- when picked a week before it is ripe, and properly stored, will keep till 
late. Flavor delicious and musky; flesh buttery, rich and juicy. One of the finest Pears that grows to eat 
raw, and extra good for canning. A mingling of the flavor of Bartlett Pear and quince gives about the 
finest taste of any food this world’s folks have. Bartlett trees bear early, produce enormous crops, and 
are not nearly so subject to damage by insects and disease as some other sorts. The trees do especially 
Winter. We cannot say too much in favor of this grand Pear, for it has 
proved such a boon to us and everyone who has planted it that we

KIEFFER. .

either in a commercial way or in the home orchard. Not the least of its merits is 
fer can be placeed on the market in perfect condition, and the top prices of the 
be secured for it. It is unfortunate that the merits of this Pear have become 
cause of the haste in which it has been hurried to market in an immature con- 
growers, and often before it has attained the proper size. When 
allowed to hang upon the trees until in October, and then care¬ 
fully ripened in a cool, dark room, there are few Pears which 
are more attractive. The fruit is large to very large; skin yellow, JM 
with a light vermilion cheek; flesh brittle, very juicy, with a Am 
marked musky aroma; good quality; combines extreme juici¬ 
ness with a sprightly, subacid flavor and the peculiar aroma 
of the Bartlett. Large fruit-growers are planting whole 
orchards of it. Ninety per cent Kieffer and ten per 
cent of other good varieties should be the arrange¬ 
ment in every orchard to secure the pollinatior 
necessary for producing large crops from Kieffer. 
Plant the Kieffer orchard and leave space for the 
other trees to be planted as pollenizers.

I have received a copy of “How to Grow and 
Market Fruit;”and it is only fair to say that the 
treatise is one of the best pieces of trade litera¬ 
ture put out in America today. I take the liberty 
of adding that, for its wealth of practical 
information and the elimination from its pages 
of private interest and commercialism in a 
wisely broad spirit, your generous contribu¬ 
tion to horticultural knowledge is notable; nor 
do I know of a popular manual by any of the 
world’s industrial or technical experts freer ljj|||j| 
frorn wasteful “padding” and unneccessary l|*¥(

of the reading public.
