OVER 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.

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 flavcr. Tree bears quite young. On account 
of its popularity everywhere it is the most sought after 
of the European Pears. 
KIEFFER. September 10 to 15. The most popular Pear for 
our section. Fruit is large, golden yellow, sometimes 
tinted red on the sun-exposed side. Flesh is firm, crisp, 
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 ir 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 
equals Bartlett. Season of ripening about September Ist. Plant with confidence. Considered by 
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. 
QUINCES 
For preserves and jelly there is 
nothing better. Its delightful flavor 
and aroma have been admired for 
years. Every home should have a 
Quince tree.
