COPE’S NEW SEEDLESS PEAR (FROM ACTUAL PHOTOGRAPH) 
IT HAS EVERYTHING ONE CAN ASK FOR, IN HARDINESS, BEAUTY, SIZE, QUALITY, 
AND IS A GREAT PRODUCER 
We often find something new in the fruit line, but seldom do we find something better. We feel 
that we have made a great discovery in this new Seedless and Coreless Pear. It resembles Bartlett 
in many ways and in color it has that beautiful yellow of the Bartlett tinged with bright pink. The 
original tree began producing at three years old and at five years produced three bushels of perfect 
fruit. 
Another great point in favor of this variety is that it ripens ten days after Bartlett, a season in 
which no other good varieties are on the market. Two other pear trees next to this one blighted and 
died while our seedless tree showed no signs of blight. We have been making tests for five years to 
try and find any weakness which it might possess, but so far it has come through every test with 
flying colors. 
This fruit placed in common storage for two weeks came out in perfect condition. It ripens 
evenly, no softening at the center. 
We have followed the fruit game for fifty years and are willing to stake our reputation on this 
great pear. 
Read What One of Our State Horticulturists Has to Say: 
WOOSTER, OHIO 
“A Seedling pear without seeds and practically coreless, growing in 
Columbiana County has recently been called to the attention of fruit 
growers.” “This pear resembles in many ways the well known Bart¬ 
lett and for the purpose of these notes is compared with that variety.” 
It ia about the size of Bartlett and similar in color. It ripens a week 
to ten days later than Bartlett. The flavor and quality are much like 
Bartlett. Like most other seedless fruit it does develop an occasional 
seed. From a botanical standpoint a core can be discerned. For prac¬ 
tical purposes the pear is almost as coreless as it is seedless. Since the 
pear possesses qualities comparable to Bartlett .it is worthy of exten¬ 
sive trial. C. W. ELLENWOOD,
