Large; coloring when fully ripe, to waxen 
OC1I llwli yellow with red blush; juicy, melting, highly 
flavored. Tree bears early and abundantly. Fruit ripens in 
September at a time when there is little or no competition on 
the market. Some nurserymen claim there have been more 
Bartlett planted than all other kinds of Pears combined, and 
you make no mistake in planting Bartlett yourself. 
Growers have long looked for a variety to 
Ilillll follow Bartlett which lacks some of the com 
spicuous faults of the several kinds that are grown for that 
season. Gorham ripens its fruit 2 weeks later than Bartlett. 
A good keeper. The fruit resembles that of Bartlett in size, 
color and shape. The flavor is sweet and vinous, with a pleas- 
ing aroma. The flesh is white, juicy and of a remarkably fine 
grain. It is more blight-resistant than Bartlett. After 4 con¬ 
secutive years of fruiting under observation in the variety 
orchard at the Ohio Experiment Station, Wooster, the Gorham 
pear is now recommended for commercial planting. Tree 
vigorous and productive. 
(Sugar Pear). Small size; yellowish russet, with 
Vdvvlivl red cheek. Flesh-white, buttery, very juicy 
and melting. Ripens in September and October.
