A Basket Full 
incoln 
of the True 
Pears 
The best all around pear tested in all our 100 years of pear growing. It averages larger than Bartlett; 
clear, beautiful yellow with a bright red cheek and as handsome as a pear can be, and as ideal for shipping. 
Quality as good as Bartlett. In neither tree nor fruit have we ever discovered a fault, and we recommend it as 
the best for both home and market orchard. For eating it is delicious; for canning it has no peer. Lives to 
old age where many varieties blight. 
When we introduced this pear we claimed it to be as hardy as an oak, and experience has borne out this 
statement. It has borne annual crops since first coming into bearing and has always brought high prices. 
In our own orchards, Lincoln has outlived and outborne over fifty varieties and 
the trees are stiU thrifty, healthy and have blighted little, while many other vari- 
have blighted to death. After propagating and growing the True Lincoln 
over 30 years, we still recommend it as the best. 
Lincoln is satisfactory, and should be planted everywhere. When we 
began growing Lincoln we claimed it the best pear we knew — and 30 
years later, after wide observation, we make the same claim. It has stood 
the tests of time, terrific summer heat and blighting winter's cold 
—and has never disappointed. Truly a grand pear for the entire 
country. Should be in every home orchard.

Native American Pear. Originated in Northern Arkansas. ' 
CONFERENCE Grown for years in England where it has been 
very popular, ('arefully tested since 1897 at South Haven Ex ' 
periment Station in Michigan. They report: “Conference is a 
very good pear and should have a place commercially. It is prac- ‘ 
tically unexcelled in productiveness, bearing crops annually. This “ 
fact along with blight-resistance and exceptionally high quality ;; 
makes it a promising new pear for American orchards. Similar 
to Bose in shape but ripens earlier and quality superior.” This 
variety bas b(*en tested in Stark Test Orchard where it has l)een 
found to be very hardy. Fruit above medium in size, flesh melt- J 
ing, very Juicy, sweet. Ripens late. An outstanding pear which a 
should be included in every new i)ear [danting. Our strain comes jE 
direct from Mich. Exp. Station. ^ 
BURBANK’S HOLIDAY' A very large pear; long and shaiied , ; 
like Bose. Smooth, green becoming a beautiful golden yellow as 
it ripens: flesh white, very juicy, mild flavor, sweet and deli- j 
cions. One of the best keepers and is in its prime during Mid- 
Winter. Another Burbank creation that bids fair to be iwpular # 
and profitable. • 1
