PEAR TREES 
Select Two-Year Specimens 
Best for Home Orchards 
Pear trees grow wherever Apples succeed. They are par¬ 
ticularly adaptable for the small garden because they 
thrive in sod, and so may be planted right in the lawn. 
They prefer heavy clay and heavy clay loam. Here their 
growth is somewhat slow but they are more resistant to 
blight.

BARTLETT. In most sections Bartlett always will be the 
favorite—an old reliable Pear of exceptionally fine flavor. 
It flourishes everywhere except in the far north regions, 
growing those big characteristically yellow Pears, flushed 
rosy on the "sun side"—very juicy and rich in flavor. 
New fruits are so meltingly delicious just fresh from the 
tree. Ripens in September. 
BOSC. New. Of the very highest flavor and quality. A dis¬ 
tinct addition to our list of Pears. Large and of a beautiful 
golden russet color. Flesh fine grained, juicy and melting. 
Ripens early October. 
Dwarf tree takes little space and yields full size fruit. 
FLEMISH. Large, beautiful, yellow and russet,- 
juicy, melting, sweet and good. Great bearer, 
reliable. September and October. 
CLAPP'S FAVORITE. Much like the Bartlett, of which 
it is a seedling, but larger and a little earlier. Vig¬ 
orous, of fine quality but neith¬ 
er keeps nor carries well. Au¬ 
gust.
