No fruit is more delicious than a juicy, home-grown pear. They grow 
upright, so do not need much room. Require no special care. 
Pear trees generally sell at high prices. But as we grow them in large 
numbers, we are giving you the benefit, making special low prices.

APRICOTS 
Another Good Backyard Fruit 
VERY EASY TO GROW 
Who does not like apricot sauce and pre¬ 
serves? They ripen right after cherries and 
before the early peaches. They are so easy 
to grow. The late frosts may catch the 
blooms sometimes, but, my gracious, the 
trees do not reciuire any special care and 
are as pretty as a shade tree. Home-grown, 
Mr. William T. Heibel of Wisconsin wrote us 
on April 12, 1938 as follows; 
“Tivo years ago, I bought some Cherry trees from 
you and the folloiving year those trees were loaded 
with cherries which was certainly a surprise to me. 
Last year I bought a collection of roses from you 
and all I3 of them have done fine. They bloomed 
all summer long. So I rcconmended you to a 
number of my friends who sent orders this spring 
and certainly will recommend your service and stock 
ioo%.” 
tree-ripened apricots are one of the most 
delicious of all fruits. 
SUPERB—This variety originated in 
Kansas and is considered the best variety 
for the middle west. It is hardy, pro¬ 
ductive, and bears when the others fail. 
The fruit is medium size, of high quality.
