ALLEN’S NURSERIES, GENEVA, OHIO 
Favorite 
Anjou. A large greenish Pear shaded with crim¬ 
son. The flesh is highly flavored, sprightly, vin¬ 
ous, melting and juicy; one of the best fall Pears 
in existence. Ripens in November. 
Bartlett. Large, yellow, waxy Pear, rich and 
juicy, tree hardy, regular and heavy bearer, 
probably best Pear for all uses. September. 
Bose. Finest quality late fall and winter variety. 
Extra large, long and tapering; russet, good 
shipper, brings highest market price. A vigorous 
grower. November and December. 
Cayuga. A promising seedling of Seckel. The 
tree characteristics of this new sort seem to be 
about all that could be desired. The Pears aver¬ 
age as large as Bartlett, but are similar to Seckel 
in shape and Clairgeau in color. Flesh firm % fine 
texture, with the rich delectable flavor of Seckel. 
Clapp’s Favorite. A splendid Pear, resembling 
Bartlett, and ripening ten days earlier; the tree 
is hardy and vigorous, fruit juicy, fine grained 
and delightful. One of the best Pears on the 
market. August. 
Duchess (of Angouleme). One of the very largest 
of good Pears; greenish in color, juicy and a good 
canning Pear, one of the best for autumn. 
Flemish Beauty. A large, beautiful, melting, 
sweet Pear; tree very hardy, vigorous and pro¬ 
ductive ; succeeds well in all climates. September. 
Gorham. Pear growers want a variety to follow 
Bartlett which lacks some of the conspicuous 
faults of the several sorts that are grown for that 
season. Gorham ripens its fruit 2 weeks later 
than Bartlett and it keeps a month longer. The 
fruit resembles that of Bartlett in size, color, 
and shape. The flavor is sweet and vinous, with 
a very marked and pleasing aroma. Trees vigor¬ 
ous and productive. 
Standard Pear Trees 
)ur Pear trees are all budded on French seedling roots, insuring hardiness 
health. We imported some of the scions frofti St. Lawrence Valley to 
away from blight a few years ago, and we think that our stock in this way 
preferable to any we have ever seen. Plant Pears this year, supply of bean 
orchards very far below normal.
