COPE’S NEW SEEDLESS PEAR 
IT HAS EVERYTHING ONE CAN ASK FOR, IN HARDINESS, BEAUTY, SIZE, QUALITY, 
AND IS A GREAT PRODUCER 
We often find something new in the fruit line, but seldom do we find something better. We feel 
that we have made a great discovery in the new Seedless and Coreless Pear. It resembles Bartlett 
in many ways and in color it has that beautiful yellow of the Bartlett tinged with bright pink. The 
original tree began producing at three years old and at five years produced three bushels of perfect 
fruit. 
Another great point in favor of this variety is that it ripens ten days after Bartlett, a season in 
which no other good varieties are on the market. Two other pear trees next to this one blighted and 
died while our seedless tree showed no signs of blight. We have been making tests for five years to 
try and find any weakness which it might possess, but so far it has come through every test with 
flying colors. 
This fruit placed in common storage for two weeks came out in perfect condition. It ripens evenly, 
no softening at the center. 
We have followed the fruit game for fifty years and are willing to stake our reputation on this 
great pear.
