DLESS PEAR: 
Quality Comparable to Bartlett 
Seedless and Practically Coreless 
Cope’s New Seedless Pear has all the qualities one can 
ask for in a Pear—Hardiness, beauty, size, quality, a 
great producer and apparently quite resistant to Blight. 
Bears at an Early Age. Full Crop at Five Years 
We often find something new in the fruit line, but seldom do we 
find something better. We feel that a great discovery has been 
made in this new Seedless and Coreless Pear. It resembles Bart- 
lett in many ways and in color it has that beautiful yellow of the 
Bartlett tinged with bright pink. The original tree began produc- 
ing at three years old and at five years produced three bushels of 
perfect fruit. 
Apparently Resistant to Fire Blight 
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. 
This fruit placed in common storage for two weeks 
came out in perfect condition. It ripens evenly, no 
softening at the center. 
Description 
Size: Same as Bartlett to a shade larger. Color: 
Same as Bartlett except pink on cheeks similar to 
Banana Apple. Quality: Good. Fruit keeps 2 to 3 
weeks in common storage. Over 90% of fruits free 
from seeds and a large percent showing no signs of

they stood in the Nursery row (except Dwarf Apple 
core. Tree is a vigorous thrifty grower and so far has 
shown no signs of blight. 
and Pear which should be set the same depth). 
2. Dig holes plenty wide enough to spread the roots, 
using the good top soil and peat mixed and firmed 
Well around the roots. 
3. Fill the holes three fourths full, firm well and 
then put at least a bucket of water in and allow to 
soak down. Fill the hole with loose soil and add a 
little more water and a mulch of peat moss over the 
top around the tree. 
4. Be sure to trim the tops back as indicated in 
our planting guide. (In Fall planting delay the cut- 
ting until early Spring.) 
5. You will insure a good start for your trees 
Spring or Fall (and emphatically the latter) by wrap- 
ping the trunks and well over the tops with coarse 
paper or light burlap. As the buds start growth re- 
move the wrapping from tops. The trunks may be 
protected longer if desired. 
Standard Pears 
Two New Pears From the N. Y. Agri. Exp. Sta. 
These new Pears—Cayuga and Gorham, embody high quality, size, at- 
tractive appearance and good tree characters. 
Ca uaa These pears average as large as those of Bartlett 
y cy but with the delectable flavor, shape, and color of 
Seckel—its parent. The tree characters seem all that could be 
desired. 
Is of the Bartlett type, with the same high 
Gorham quality and attractive appearance. Ripens two 
weeks later than Bartlett and keeps a month longer. Flavor is 
sweet and with a pleasing aroma. Flesh is white, tender, but- 
tery, and juicy—a combination which, with the rich flavor and 
spicy aroma makes this one of the very best flavored pears of 
its season. Canners find it superior to Bartlett.
