Leading Varieties. For the convenience of our customers who may not be entirely familiar with 
the best and most profitable varieties, we have printed the names of such sorts in heavy type. In making 
your selection, it will pay you to choose from among those varieties. 
STANDARD AUTUMN PEARS 
Bartlett. ^ g°^ en 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 well with high culture. 
Garber. Trees free from blight and immensely 
productive. Fruit large, resembling Kieffer, but 
ripening two or three weeks earlier. A good 
pollenizer for planting with Kieffer. Oct. to Dec. 
Le Conte. Vigorous and prolific sort. Fruit large, 
with smooth yellow skin; flesh juicy and firm. 
Seckel. Most exquisitely flavored Pear known. 
Fruit small, yellow with red cheek, melting, 
sweet and aromatic. Aug. and Sept. 
STANDARD WINTER PEARS 
Wjr ® i® Large to very large; skin 
1 AllP'V 8 yellow with a light vermilion 
& wJl © cbedk; flesh brittle, very 
juicy, with a marked musky aroma; good quality. 
It is unfortunate that the merits of this Pear 
have become under-estimated because of the 
haste in which it has been hurried to market 
in an immature condition by some growers, 
and often before it has attained the proper size. 
When allowed to hang upon the trees until in 
October, and then carefully ripened in a cool, 
dark room there are few Pears which are more 
attractive. Combines extreme juiciness with a 
sprightly subacid flavor and the peculiar aroma 
of the Bartlett. Large fruit-growers are planting 
whole orchards of it. Should be thinned. Ninety 
per cent Kieffer and ten per cent Le Conte or 
Garber trees should be the arrangement in every 
orchard, to secure the pollination necessary for 
producing large crops from Kieffer. Plant the 
Kieffer Pear, continued 
Kieffer orchard and leave spaces for the other 
trees to be planted as pollenizers. Le Conte or 
Garber trees grow fast and bloom profusely 
at a very early age. 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 want its merits fully known by those 
who are contemplating Pears either in a com¬ 
mercial way or in the home orchard. Not the least 
of its merits is the fact that Kieffer can be placed 
on the market in perfect condition, as outlined on 
pages 122 to 131 of our book, “How to Grow and 
Market Fruit,” and the top prices of the market, 
can always be secured for it. 
DWARF PEARS 
Bartlett. This is the only variety we are offering: 
in dwarf form, and the fruit is exactly the same 
as that borne by the standard trees. The chief 
merits of dwarf fruit trees lies in their practica¬ 
bility for small places, the ease with which the 
trees may be sprayed and the convenience of 
picking the fruit. They are particularly adapted 
for growing in poultry-yards, where they give 
much-needed shade and are benefited by the extra 
fertilizing of the soil. 
In one of our Kieffer Pear Orchards, at Berlin. This orchard 
bore ten cars of fancy fruit in the season of 1912
