P€ARS 
BARTLETT Large; colorin g when fully ripe, to waxen yellow 
with red blush; juicy, melting, highly flavored. Tree 
bears early and abundantly. Fruit ripens in September at a time when 
there is little or no competition on the market. Some nurserymen claim 
there have been more Bartlett planted than all other kinds of Pears 
combined, and you make no mistake in planting Bartlett yourself. 
CONFERENCE Tree medium in size and very productive. 
Fruits medium in size. Color yellow overlaid 
with russet. Flesh melting, juicy, sweet; exceptionally good in quality. 
Season late; in cold storage will keep until Christmas. This variety 
was recently imported from England, where it is much esteemed as 
one of their finest fruits. 
COPE S SEEDLESS Somethin 9 New! No Seeds, and Prac- 
" ticaHy Coreless. (See Outside Back 
Cover for description and price.) 
DOUGLAS A fall Pear that bears heavily, and starts bearing 
next year after planting. Fruit is large, yellow with 
blush. Considered blight-proof. Should be allowed to fully ripen on 
the tree before being picked. 
KIEFFER Long considered the best variety for large 
commercial plantings, because of its sure 
crop, heavy yield and exceptional shipping qualities. Ripens 
m October and^ November. Fruit large, yellowish, and of 
good quality. Sometimes called "Winter Bartlett." 
EARLY HARVEST An early variety, as the 
name implies. Size medium 
to large; flesh white, fine grained, melting, excellent. Has 
long been a favorite with planters in more southern sections, 
but a variety of merit that is worthy of planting anywhere. 
GORHAM A new variety almost identical in appear¬ 
ance and quality with Bartlett, except that 
it ripens two weeks later than that variety and keeps a 
month longer. Flavor is sweet, and with pleasing aroma. 
Flesh white, tender, juicy; a combination which, with the 
rich flavor and spicy aroma makes this one of the very 
best flavored Pears of its season. Canners find it superior 
to Bartlett.

Dwarf Pear Trees 
The Dwarf Pear is the ordinary Pear grown on 
quince roots. This produces a heavy, stocky body, 
which always remains dwarf in size, bringing it 
into bearing much sooner than standard pear 
trees. Though the tree itself is a dwarf, the fruit 
produced is the same size as that borne on stand¬ 
ard trees. Fine for planting in small yards, or any 
^cation where planting space is at a premium. 
(When planting cover junction of pear and quince 
stock about three inches.) We offer dwarf pears 
in two choice varieties, BARTLETT and SECKEL, 
2-yr.. 5/8 in. strong trees, either variety, at 65c 
each, or ten trees for $6.00. 
SECKEL (Sugar Pear). Small size; yellowish russet, 
with red cheek. Flesh white, buttery, very 
juicy and melting. One of the most highly flavored kinds.
