ELLIVANGER & B/IRRY'S 
New Winter Pear, Dorset. 
Another seedling raised by the late Lemuel Clapp. It is a very handsome and showy late-keeping 
pear. Large, golden yellow ground, with bright red on sunny side ; flesh juicy, melting, sweet, of good 
quality. Keeps and ships well and is a valuable late pear. Ripe in February, but keeps in perfection 
till May. We exhibited beautiful specimens of it at the World’s Fair in May, 1893. Tree a vigorous 
grower. $1.00. 
New Winter Pear, Fred Baudry. 
A large, handsome, fine-flavored, late winter pear. Size medium to large; oblong pyriform ; color 
yellow, with occasional blotches of russet; flesh yellow, tender, buttery, juicy, slightly gritty at core, 
solid and no evidence of rot; quality very good to best, a distinct flavor. Ripe a little after Josephine 
of Malines. A valuable late winter pear. $1.00. 
New Winter Pear, Olivier Des Serres. 
A valuable late-keeping winter pear, ripening about the same time as the Josephine of Malines, and 
perhaps keeping longer, say till first of March. The fruit is of good size, roundish, averaging larger 
than Josephine. Flesh tender, juicy, melting; flavor distinct, excellent. In quality it ranks as very 
good to best. As the number of late-keeping, high-flavored pears is not large, this variety will be 
received favorably. $1.00. 
New Winter Pear, P. Barry. 
One of the long-keeping Fox seedlings. Large, pyriform ; skin orange yellow, covered with russet 
dots and blotches; flesh very juicy, buttery, fine grained; flavor sprightlv, rich, excellent. The best 
late winter pear. Resembles Anjou in texture of flesh and Winter Nelis 'in color of skin and juiciness 
of flesh. Tree a poor grower and must be top-grafted. Ripe in April. We also exhibited fine specimens 
of this pear at the World’s Fair latter part of May. This variety was offered for sale on fruit stands in 
New York city as late as June last year. $1.00. 
I he Santa Cruz Surf.\ published in Santa Cruz, Cal., speaking of iate winter pears, says that the Easter Beurre 
which up to this tune has been regarded as the most valuable late pear, is to be superseded by the new pear 
I\ Barry, named after the late Rochester pomologist. The Barry is the longest keeping pear of good quality that 
is known at present. It is fit to cat as late as May, and keeps till that time with ordinary care, its fine oualitv 
unimpaired. ^ 1
