Blight Free PEAR TREES | 
_ Our Pear trees are all budded on French seedling roots, insuring hardiness and health. We 
imported some of the scions from St. Lawrence Valley to get away from blight a few years ago, 
and we think that our stock in this way is preferable to any we have ever seen. Plant Pears this 
year, supply of bearing orchards very far below normal.
