HENDERSON’S SPECIAL PEAR. When do 
pears bear? If you plant this one you can say 
NOW. Fully one half of the one year, 2 to 5 
foot trees in the nursery rows bore big line crisp 
yellow pears this year. The quality is good. Ripe 
last of August and September. It has oeen ab¬ 
solutely proof against blight. New fruits witn 
not half the merit of this usually sell tor high 
prices. 
DOUGLASS. A new pear originating in Kan¬ 
sas. One year trees often carry a cluster of pears 
in the nursery row. It seems to be doing well 
all over the southwest. Good quality, ripe in 
late summer. 
KEIFFER. Everybody’s pear. Very large, 
yellow flesh, brittle, juicy with a marked aroma; 
tree very vigorous and prolific; bears young, so 
far has proved to resist blight or other diseases 
better than any other pear.

HANSEN’S NEW RUSSIAN APRICOTS. 
These promise to bring a new era in the produc¬ 
tion of api^cots for the middlewest. Apricots 
grow well for us but seem to bloom out early 
and are often killed by frost. These coming as 
they do, from the cold Manchurian regions seem 
to be unusually hardy and have the quality of 
not blooming so early. 
In order that our customers may try these 
new Hansen’s Russian Apricots, we are quoting 
them at the same price as the apricots above. 
We can furnish the following varieties which 
is the only available supply in the southwest. 
MANCHU. Largest yellow, heavy producer. 
MANDARIN. Large, rich yellow fruit. High 
quality. 
CHOW. Great producer of good eating fruit. 
NIGUTA. Large yellow with red blush, ripe 
late. 
TOLA. Large freestone, one of the best, ripe 
early in the season. 
TEXAS RED. One of the most highly es¬ 
teemed apples in East Texas; large, striped, fine 
quality, good keeper; one of the most regular and 
abundant bearers — winter. 
TRANSCENDENT CRAB APPLE. Does well 
in southwest. Heavy early bearer, fine for pre¬ 
serves and jelly. Yellow with red markings. 
Ripe in July. Price: 2-3 ft., 25c; 3-4 ft., 30c; 
4-5 ft., 40c; 5-6 ft., 50c. 
RED FLESH CRAB. Newest novelty fruit in¬ 
troduction, and forerunner of a race of red-fleshed 
apples and crabs. Very hardy. Fruit good-sized 
and tasty, but the most remarkable quality is 
that its flesh is red—dark red clear through— 
giving a delightful coloring to sauce and pre¬ 
serves. 
DOLGO CRAB. The best red jelly crab. Fruit 
long and conical, intensely bright red. A won¬ 
derful producer. Makes a large amount of love¬ 
ly red jelly per pound cf fruit, often as high as 
45 glasses of jelly and 8 pints of jam from a 
single peck. Strong growing tree, and an early 
and heavy bearer.
