Black Stayman. Larger than'the common Wine- 
sap, with rich, dark red fruit. Keeps well and 
can be used in every way. One of the best com- 
mercial varieties as well as an all purpose apple 
for home use. 
CRAB APPLES: 
Transcendent, An early ripening variety ripen- 
ing in August. Color yellow overspread with 
bright red. Flesh very crisp and tender. 
Dolga Crab. Best of all crab apples. Bears 
young and very heavy. Beautiful enough for a 
lawn tree. Excellent for jelly. It is one of the 
finest and most beautiful crabs grown; not subject 
to blight. 
PEARS. 
There is scarcely a section in the entire country 
where Pear will not produce abundantly, if prop- 
er care is used in the selection of varieties. By 
all means Pears should be planted extensively for 
both market and home use. ) 
You can have fresh Pears for six months or 
longer if the right sorts: are selected, first fresh 
from the tree and then from those that have been 
stored in a cool place. Pears begin bearing in two 
to three years after planting, depending on variety 
and attention they get. They grow best on moist, 
rich lands, but are more subject to blight where 
growth is vigorous and heavy. So, it is best to 
give them just average lands and not push them 
too fast. Where blight appears, cut out and burn 
it promptly, keeping saw or knife thoroughly 
disinfected with creosote, carbolic acid, or other 
disinfectant. Careful and thorough pruning will 
do much to lessen this disease.
