—THE BEST ALL-ROUND PEAR 
This amazing Late-Summer Pear has proved to be America’s Best All-Around 
Pear, especially where a BLIGHT-RESISTANT Pear is needed. Averages larger 
than Bartlett—Clear, Beautiful Yellow with a Bright Red Cheek. For eating it 
is delicious; for canning it has no equal—an ideal shipper. A Hardy, Blight-Resistant 
Tree; a Heavy Bearer—highly recommended for both Home and Market Orchards. 
"Equals Bartlett in Flavor"'—says Idaho Grower 
“Lincoln is Blight Resistant—more blight resistant than any other; equals 
Bartlett in flavor and texture. Good keeper, have never discovered a winter-killed 
tree.”—J. W. Jones, Emmet Co., Idaho. 
{Summer) The great favorite in all orchards and on all markets because 
of delicious flavor. Large, rich golden yellow blushed red; rich, delicious flavor. 
One of the best for canning and shipping. Tree strong grower. Regular bearer. 
We advise planting Lincoln in sections where Pears blight badly.

sembles Bartlett in size, shape, color and 
delicious flavor—but ripens 2 weeks jater. Tree 
vigorous, hardy, VERY RESISTANT TO 
BLIGHT. A splendid pollenizer. Georgia Exp. 
Station reports “Much more blight resistant 
than Bartlett.” 
(Late Summer] One of the most 
delicious Pears in the world. Juicy, melting, 
Sweet and rich. Large, blushed yellow. Hardy, 
strong, long-lived tree; a young bearer; Biight 
resistant. We highly recommend Fame for all 
Home and Local Market Orchards. Introduced
