flesh is very tender and juicy. Very good 
quality.

PEPPERS,” but this happens to be 
PEARS we are talking about, and they’re 
good for pickling. They are round, good 
sized, yellow, blight-proof pears, hardy as 
an oak, of excellent quality. We have 20- 
year old trees which bore 20 bushels of 
pears each, in 1938. A HANSEN

the RICHEST JUICE OF FINE 
FLAVOR. The skin is THIN, and 
QUALITY EXTRA GOOD.

hardy, blight resistant Pear. Probably a 
“Seckel” Hybrid. Where other pears will 
not grow, plant Patten No. 5, the hardiest 
of all.

more delicious than a JUICY HOME¬ 
GROWN PEAR. THE SECKEL PEAR

rich orange-yellow, flavor stronger than some of 
the others. 
MANCHU: Manchu is the largest apricot that 
we offer and it really is excellent. Trees are very 
productive. Fruit is large and a lemon-yellow 
color. Cooks up into a fine flavored pale yellow 
sauce. Excellent to eat from trees. 
J. H. HALE PEACH: Many folks prefer the 
J. H. Hale Peach and so will you when you see 
this extra large, GOLDEN YELLOW PEACH. 
The skin is extra thick, fuzzless with a blushed 
carmine color and the most delicious you have ever 
tasted. Freestone. Hardy South of Yankton. 
RED LALIN: A beauty! Clear yellow with a 
deep red blush. Bears a HEAVY crop of good

golden yellow with a red cheek, really a beauty and 
its beauty is NOT “Only skin deep.” It goes right 
through to the pit. In hardiness—it has borne 
steadily here at Yankton for many years. 
MANCHU 
POLLY PEACH: This comes closest to being a 
HARDY Peach. It has stood temperatures as 
low as 15% BELOW ZERO. Besides, POLLY 
PEACH has a wonderful flavor, produces abun¬ 
dantly, and is outstanding even in Peach growing 
sections. Plant POLLY the HARDIEST PEACH. 
NEW WAGONER PEACH: This peach has 
proved extremely hardy producing heavy crops of 
big rosy cheeked peaches of excellent, juicy qual¬ 
ity. We believe it is the hardiest as well as the 
best quality Peach ever found growing in this 
vicinity. 
MISS SOUTH DAKOTA PEACH: An extra 
large hardy, freestone Peach. Originated at Yank¬ 
ton. On account of this tree’s productiveness and 
hardiness, and the high quality of its fruit it is 
bound to hold first place among hardy Northern 
Peaches. This tree has been grown in the open 
without any protection and has stood many 
South Dakota winters without serious damage.
