Pear Trees 
WELL ROOTED STOCK 
Thoroughly Tested Varieties 
Every home orchard should have a few Pears, especially the Bose 
and Lincoln. Pears have delicious eating qualities and are excellent 
for canning. Their much deserved popularity makes them a fine mar¬ 
ket crop. There are but few varieties which have the qualities 
essential to a real good Pear. After years of experience, careful 
investigation and thorough testing we have developed this list of 
selected varieties. They are the cream of hundreds of varieties. We 
recommend all of them, too, without hesitation. 
All these varieties do well on both standard and dwarf roots. The 
descriptions apply to both except that the dwarfs are naturally lower 
growing trees. They also come into bearing sooner and the fruit 
as a rule is a little larger. Standard Pear trees are usually planted 
20 feet apart each way and dwarfs io feet apart each way. Pear trees 
do well on almost any type of soil. We can furnish all varieties 
described in both standard and dwarf trees.
