ANDREWS HARDY PEARS 
BANTAM PEAR • NEW! 
Formerly Minnesota No. 3. Just named this year. 
This pear was originated at the Minnesota State Fruit 
Breeding Farm. The fruit is not as large as the other 
varieties, but makes up in quality what it may lack 
in size. The tree is as hardy as a Duchess apple tree 
and can be grown successfully wherever Duchess can 
be grown. It is free from blight and is a heavy and 
annual cropper. To eat and to can, this new pear has 
made a place for itself. 
Being a strong, vigorous grower, this Bantam Pear 
makes a very appropriate and a very interesting tree 
to plant on the side lawn or in the outdoor living room. 
D^^BiThis pear was originated by 
Katten Kear Chas. Fatten a number of 
years ago and has since been thoroughly tested and is 
now recommended for planting in the southern half of 
Minnesota. 
Patten is a strong, vigorous growing tree and very 
productive. Prof. H. L. Lantz says, “This Patten pear, 
as grown at Charles City, has never blighted and has 
been productive and vigorous. The fruit is of good 
size, resembles Bartlett in form, very tender, juicy and 
good quality; season September.” 
Now that it is so clearly demonstrated that these 
pears can be successfully grown in Minnesota, all 
orchards should include a good assortment. We can 
heartily recommend Patten. 
Japanese Cherries 
(Prunus Japonica No. 20 and No. 60) 
You will be greatly surprised and pleased with two 
new Cherries originated at the Minnesota Fruit Breed' 
ing Farm. We are offering them this year for the first 
time. They belong to a new type of bush Cherry which 
is not only very fruitful but is ornamental as well. 
The nearly black fruit is borne in abundance. It is 
excellent to eat out of hand, and may well take the 
place of Montmorency for pies. 
The bushes grow in low compact form, 3 to 4 feet 
high. The foliage is fine, clean, and attractively colored 
in the fall. These Cherries may be planted as a row in 
the garden or used as shrubbery in landscape plantings. 
At present they are known as Japonica No. 20 and 
Japonica No. 60. Plant both varieties. Order early as 
stock is limited. Prices, page 6.

of the state and is now recommended for general

gested for trial in favorable locations farther north.
