Kieffer 
Pear 

PEARS 
This old standard fruit is still being planted by many. 
Blight is its chief enemy, and as it is worse on deep, rich 
soil, do not over-stimulate by feeding. Planted in the 
back lawn it will make a beautiful tree in foliage, blossom 
and fruit.

BARTLETT. August 15. The favorite eating Pear of Amer- 
ica, East or West. Large; beautiful yellow, with soft 
blush; high flavor. Tree bears quite young. On account 
of its popularity everywhere it is the most sought after 
of the European Pears. For preserves and jelly there is 
KIEFFER. September 10 to 15. The most popular Pear for nothing better. Its delightful flavor 
our section. Fruit is large, golden yellow, sometimes and aroma have been admired for 
tinted red on the sun-exposed side. Flesh is firm, crisp, years. Every home should have a 
juicy and for canning purposes it is especially prized. 
From the tree it is not good to eat, and to properly 
ripen, gather carefully and place in a dry place of even 
temperature. The quality improves and it is then de- 
sirable. For keeping longer, pack in shallow trays or 
wrap the fruit in paper and store in a room free from 
frost. In this manner it can be kept until Christmas. 

LINCOLN. As blight-resistant as Kieffer, and bears regular crops. Perfectly hardy and quality almost 
Plant with confidence. 
equals Bartlett. Season of ripening about September Ist. 
many the best of the Pears. 
SECKEL. September 15. This small, high quality, yellowish brown Pear is one of the most popular 
of the September fruits. Of melting, juicy, and sugary quality (frequently called the ‘Little Sugar 
Pear’). Tree is of slow growth but lives long and is needed in every home garden.

A CENTURY OF HONEST DEALING 


PLUMS 
Japanese Plums are best for general southern plant- 
ing, but you cannot neglect Damson, Green Gage, and 
the newer Omaha. The trees grow almost anywhere— 
garden, chicken-run, or orchard. Usually the trees 
are loaded with fruit, so it is wise to thin the green 
fruit when about as big as an acorn. Prune the trees 
same as apples.

(E) indicates European and (J) Japanese Plums. 
ABUNDANCE. (J.) July. One of the best and hardiest 
of the Japanese varieties. Fruit is large, oval, and 
in color amber changing to cherry. Quality good. 
Tree hardy. 
BURBANK. (J.) Late July. Later than Abundance. 
Fruit large, violet to light purple, with occasional 
shades of yellow. Flesh yellow, of excellent quality. 
For either canning or marketing this is the most 
popular sort. We believe it to be the hardiest and 
most prolific of the Japanese varieties. 
DAMSON. (E.) A standard for years too well known 
to describe. Trees are upright in character of 
growth and usually bear great crops in congenial 
soil. Succeeds everywhere Plums will grow. 
GREEN GAGE. (E.) Another outstanding old variety. 
It ripens in mid-August and its medium sized, 
yellow-green, high quality fruit makes it a standard 
by which others are judged. Tree moderate grower; 
healthy. 
OMAHA, (Hybrid.) A promising sort, vigorous in 
growth and free from disease. Being an American- 
Japanese hybrid, it inherits hardiness and produc- 
tiveness from each parent. Produces great crops of 
coral fruit, yellow-fleshed and of good quality.
