COPE’S NEW SEEDLESS PEAR FROM ACTUAL PHOTOGRAPH) 
Read What One of Our State Horticulturists Has to Say: 
WOOSTER, OHIO 
“A Seedling pear without seeds and practically coreless, growing in 
Columbiana County has recently been called to the attention of fruit 
growers.” “This pear resembles in many ways the well known Bart¬ 
lett and for the purpose of these notes is compared with that variety.” 
It is about the size of Bartlett and similar in color. It ripens a week 
to ten days later than Bartlett. The flavor and quality are much like 
Bartlett. Like most other seedless fruit it does develop an occasional 
seed. From a botanical standpoint a core can be discerned. For prac¬ 
tical purposes the pear is almost as coreless as it is seedless. Since the 
pear possesses qualities comparable to Bartlett it is worthy of exten¬ 
sive trial. C. W. Elmwood,

As president of the Mahoning County Horticul¬ 
tural Society I find that there is much interest in 
the new Seedless Pear that you are propagating. 
When I saw the original tree it was a beautifully 
formed tree six years of age and loaded with 
three bushels of fine fruit, mostly 2^/2 to 2% size, 
and of fine quality, and color.

Gentlemen: 
I have been greatly interested in this new Seed¬ 
less Pear. My observation has been that, the size 
is good, color is good, and the quality excellent.
