One of the best known and popular varieties for both 
commercial and home orchard planting. Golden color 
with red streak mellow and indescribably delicious both 
fresh and canned. Heavy bearer. 
Buerre Bose - Fail. Big, deep yellow, long 
shaped pear. Unusually sweet and juicy. Sells well; 
profitable. Good keeper into December. Excellent home 
orchard variety, yields heavily. 
Kieffer— Fall. Best pear for large com¬ 
mercial planting, because of its sure crop, heavy yield 
and excellent shipping qualities. Kieffer has been prov¬ 
en unexcelled for commercial canning. A local cannery 
used over 200,000 bushels in one season. 
Seckel — Early Fall. A medium sized pear 
that ripens late in September. Extremely fine quality 
and flavor. Always in market demand and equally valu¬ 
able for home use.

year. Young trees have been known to bear in the 
nursery row. Heavy bearer of good quality fruit.
