BARTLETT. 
and handsome, juicy, firm quality; excellent for 
evaporating - or canning; a good shipper; very pro¬ 
ductive and profitable. 
Sheldon. —Medium size; yellowish or greenish rus¬ 
set, with a richly shaded cheek; flesh a little coarse, 
melting, juicy, with a very brisk, vinous, highly per¬ 
fumed flavor; productive. October. 
WINTER PEARS. 
Barseckle. —It is a cross between Bartlett and 
Seckel; hence the name. In size it is a little smaller 
than Bartlett, and ripens a little later than Bartlett. 
The color is pale green. The flesh is fine grained, 
white, very melting and juicy, and in quality unmis¬ 
takably the best. It is not as sweet as Seckel, but 
more vinous, and is preferred by many in quality 
to Seckel. The trees are vigorous upright growers. 
Duchess (Duchess d’Angouleme). ■—Very large; 
dull, greenish yellow, streaked and spotted with 
russet; flesh white, buttery and very juicy, with a 
rich and very excellent flavor. The large size and 
SUMMER PEARS. 
Bartlett. — This is the most popular 
Summer pear, both for home use and 
market, that the world has ever known. 
It comes into bearing at an early age, 
and bears enormous crops of large and 
handsome fruit, juicy, buttery and melt¬ 
ing, with a rich, fine flavor; a delicious 
eating pear, and makes the finest of 
canned fruit. The Bartlett may be picked 
before it has attained its full size, and it 
will ripen and color beautifully, and may 
be of good quality. However, it should 
always be picked before it is fully ripe. 
Clapp’s Favorite. — Large, handsome, 
delicious; fruit when ripe marbled with 
dull red in the sun; fine grained, juicy, 
melting, rich and sweet. Good grower 
and productive; a splendid hardy bearer. 
Koonce. —Originated in Illinois. It is 
exceedingly early. Most early pears rot 
at the core and do not ship well, but 
Koonce is an excellent shipper; it can be 
picked green and will color up well in a 
few days. Koonce is a vigorous grower, 
free from blight, heavy and productive, 
and an annual bearer. 
Dawson. —A healthy grower, free from 
blight,.very productive, medium to large, 
some specimens measuring nine inches in 
circumference; beautiful red color on 
yellow ground, remarkably attractive 
and handsome; flesh crisp, juicy and 
pleasant, firm and a good shipper; very 
early ripening. Middle of July. 
Manning’s (Manning’s Elizabeth).— 
Fruit small; yellow, with a lively red 
cheek; flesh white, juicy and very melt¬ 
ing, sweet and sprightly; tree hardy and 
exceedingly productive. We regard this 
as one of the most valuable early dessert 
pears, and should be in every collection. 
Season, August. Only in dwarfs. 
Seckel. —Small, skin brownish green at 
first, becoming dull yellowish brown, 
with a lively russet red cheek; flesh whit¬ 
ish, buttery, very juicy and melting, with 
a peculiarly rich spicy flavor and aroma. 
This variety is pronounced by good 
judges the richest and most exquisitely 
flavored pear known. August and Sep¬ 
tember. 
Wilder. —Small to medium, pyriform, 
smooth; pale yellow, with deep red cheek, 
fine grained, tender, rich, sub-acid; does 
not rot at the core; a good shipper and 
bears well. Early in August. Only in 
dwarfs. 
Tyson. — Medium size; bright yellow; cheeks 
shaded with reddish brown, buttery, very melting; 
flavor nearly sweet, aromatic, excellent; vigorous. 
August. 
AUTUMN'PEARS. 
Anjou (Beurred’Anjou).—Large; greenish, sprin¬ 
kled with russet, sometimes shaded with dull crim¬ 
son; flesh whitish, buttery, melting, with a high, 
rich, vinous, excellent flavor; very productive; 
should be in every orchard. October and November. 
Belle Lucrative. —Large, melting and sweet; a fine 
upright grower, and bears early and abundantly. 
September and October. 
Flemish Beauty. —A large, melting, sweet pear; a 
most valuable variety for general use and market; 
fruit large, surface a little rough, the ground pale 
yellow, covered with marblings and patches of light 
russet, becoming reddish brown at maturity on 
sunny side; fine shipper and sells well. September 
and October. 
Le Conte. —Very vigorous grower, with luxuriant 
foliage; fruit very large, greenish yellow, smooth
