SUMMER PEARS. 
Andre Desport.es—Medium size; pale green, marbled on sunny side with red. Flesh line, juicy, melting. A valu¬ 
able early pear. Tree a free grower as a standard or dwarf. Ripe in August. 75c. 
Ansault- Medium size; light greenish yellow, mostly covered with a thin light russet; melting, juicy and very fine 
grained; one of the finest in quality of all pears. Tree a poor grower; needs top grafting in order to obtain 
good standard trees. Real’s when quite young. September. 75c. 
Bartlett—One of the most popular i>ears; large; buttery and melting, with a rich musky flavor. A vigorous, erect 
grower; bears young and abundantly. Middle to last of September. 50c. 
•Brandywine—Medium size; yellow and russet; melting, juicy; first rate. A free grower and productive. August, 
50c. 
♦Clapp's Favorite—A splendid pear, resembling the Bartlett and ripening a few days earlier; a cross between that 
variety and the Flemish Beauty: the tree is hardy and vigoi'ous either on the pear or quince. Care should be 
taken to pick the f ruit at leant ten days before it would ripen upon the tree. 50c. 
♦Dearborn’s Seedling— Rather below medium size; pale yellow; melting and good. Tree a free grower, and bears 
young and profusely. Ripe about the last of August. 50c. 
Gifford ( Beurre Giffard )— A. beautiful and excellent variety; ripening middle of August. Tree slender but healthy; 
hardy ; a moderate grower and very productive. 50c. 
♦Manning’s Elizabeth—Below medium size; bright yel¬ 
low, with a lively red cheek, dotted with brown and 
red dots; flesh juicy and melting. A beautiful des¬ 
sert fruit. Tree a moderate grower. 50c. 
Margaret—(Petite Marguerite). Medium size; skin green¬ 
ish yellow, with brownish red cheek, and covered 
with greenish dots. Flesh fine, melting, juicy, vinous, 
and of first quality. Tree a vigorous , upright grower, 
and an early and abundant bearer. Succeeds admi¬ 
rably as a standard or dwarf. The finest pear of its 
season and worthy of special attention. Ripens latter 
part of August. (See cut.) 75c. 
Souvenir du Congres Large to very large, larger than 
Bartlett or Clapp’s Favorite, to which it bears a 
strong resemblance (we have had specimens which 
weighed 27 ounces and which measured 14 inches in 
circumference); skin smooth, bright yellow when the 
fruit is fully matured, with the parts exposed to the 
sun brilliant red or carmine. The flesh, while it is 
like that of the Bartlett, is free from itsstrong musky 
aroma, and is firm to the core. It commenees to ripen 
in August, a little before the Bartlett, and extends 
into September. The tree is a moderate grower, and 
to obtain good standard and dwarf trees we are 
obliged to work it upon strong growing sorts. On 
account of its size, quality and earliness, it is entitled 
to a place among the best pears. 75c. 
Summer Doyenne (Doyenne d’Ete)—A beautiful, melt¬ 
ing sweet pear, rather small. Tree a vigorous grower 
and good bearer. First of August. 50c. 
♦Tyson—Rather above medium size; melting, juicy, 3 weet Margaret (Natural Size). 
and pleasant. Tree very vigorous and rapid grower; bears abundantly every year; one of the best summer 
varieties. August. 50c. 
AUTUMN PEARS. 
Angouleme (Duchesse d’Angouleme) One of the largest of all our good pears. Succeeds well on the pear, but it 
attains its highest j>erfeotion on the quince; as a dwarf it is one of the most profitable market pears. October 
and November. 50c. 
Bello Lucrative—Large; melting and sweet. A free , upright grower, and bears early and abundantly. September 
and October. 50c. 
Boko. ( Beurre Bose) A large and beautiful russety pear; very distinct, with a long neck; melting, or nearly so, high 
flavored and delicious. A moderate grower and rather irregular; bears well. We top graft in order to get 
good standard trees. It does not succeed on the quince, and in order to obtain dwarf trees it must be double 
worked. September to October. 75c. 
BotisKock (Doyenne Boussock)—A large pear of good quality, resembling the White Doyenne. Tree a very vigr/r - 
ous, rapid grower and abundant bearer. This variety is far from being appreciated. We can recommend it as 
a valuable market pear. September. 50c. 
Doyenne \\ bite—A well known and almost universally esteemed variety of the highest excellence. Tree a vigor¬ 
ous grower, productive and hardy; succeeds best in most parts of the West. 50c. 
* lemisli Beauty—A large, beautiful, melting, sweet pear. Tree very hardy, vigorous and fruitful; succeeds well in 
most parts of the country. September and October. 50c.
