Bartlett Pears—A Heavy Bearer—Excellent Flavor—Best 1 
Commercial anil Home Variety 
BARTLETT—Summer. Large, ricli golden yellow, with a 
light red blush when ripe; buttery, juicy, melting, with a 
very rich, pleasing flavor. Bartlett is without a peer, hav¬ 
ing won an international reputation as the best and the 
most profitable commercial pear and also the finest home 
orchard variety. 
Bartlett pears, when properly grown and packed in boxes, 
bushels and half-bushel baskets, are most attractive, and 
find a steady, ready demand with highest prices on the mar¬ 
kets. Excellent for fresh eating and unsurpassed for can¬ 
ning. An old favorite. 
Garber—Fall. Extra large, even larger than KiefTer; poor 
flavor, but excellent for canning. Tree is hardy, strong 
grower; bears at early age; producing large crops. Garber 
is good pollinizer for KiefTer as well as other varieties. 
Lawrence—Winter. Medium to large: golden yellow, with 
brown dots, melting; pleasant, aromatic; good quality. Ln- 
surpassed as a winter variety. 
SECKEL—Fall. A beautiful and delicious little pear, known 
everywhere and an old-time favorite; skin yellowish brown 
with deep brownish red cheek; flesh very fine grained, sweet: 
one of the richest and highest flavored pears grown. Tree 
rather dwarf, slow, but stout and erect, bears prolific crops.
