Blight Free PEAR TREES 
Our Pear trees are all budded on French seedling roots, insuring hardiness and health. 
We imported some of the scions from St. Lawrence Valley to get away from blight a 
few years ago, and we think that our stock in this way is preferable to any we have ever 
seen. Plant Pears this year, supply of bearing orchards very far below normal.

ANJOU. A large greenish Pear shaded with crimson. The flesh is highly 
flavored, sprightly, vinous, melting and juicy; one of the best fall Pears 
in existence. Ripens in November. 
BARTLETT. Large, yellow, waxy Pear, rich and juicy; tree hardy, regu- 
lar and heavy bearer; probably best Pear for all uses. September. 
BOSC. Finest quality late fall and winter variety. Extra large, long and 
tapering; russet, good shipper, brings highest market price. A vigorous 
grower. November and December. : 
CAYUGA. A promising seedling of Seckel. The tree characteristics of this 
new sort seem to be about all that could be desired. The Pears average 
as large as Bartlett, but are similar to Seckel in shape and Clairgeau in 
color. Flesh firm; fine texture with the rich delectable flavor of Seckel. 
CLAPP’S FAVORITE. A splendid Pear, resembling Bartlett, and ripening 
ten days earlier; the tree is hardy and vigorous, fruit juicy, fine grained 
and delightful. One of the best Pears on the market. August. 
DUCHESS (of Angouleme). One of the very largest of good Pears; green- 
ish in color, juicy and a good canning Pear, one of the best for autumn. 
FLEMISH BEAUTY. A large, beautiful, thelting, sweet Pear; tree very 
hardy, vigorous and productive; succeeds well in all climates. September. 
GORHAM. Pear growers want a variety to follow Bartlett which lacks 
some of the conspicuous faults of the several sorts that are grown for 
that season. Gorham ripens its fruit 2 weeks later than Bartlett and it 
keeps a month longer. The fruit resembles that of Bartlett in size, color, 
and shape. The flavor is sweet and vinous, with a very marked and 
pleasing aroma. Trees vigorous and productive. 
KIEFFER. Very large. Tree a fine grower, makes a beautiful tree for 
planting along farm drives. Fruit, while hard when picked from tree, if 
placed in cellar until Thanksgiving becomes very good to eat. Sells well 
for market sort. 
LAWRENCE. Medium yellow with brown dots, melting, pleasant, aro- 
matic. November-December. : : 
PHELPS. Phelps is a cross between Winter Nelis and Russet Bartlett. 
The fruit is of the type of Bartlett, but ripens much later. Flavor better 
than Bartlett, but the appearance of the fruit is duller. Flesh tender and 
juicy. Ripens around Thanksgiving and keeps until Christmas. 
PULTENEY. A sister tree to Phelps. Fruit of Bartlett type, a little more peeu 
lar in outline; skin smoother. Comes during the season between Bartlett an 
Phelps. P 
SECKEL. Small, skin rich yellowish brown, juicy, melting in the mouth, is a 
wonderful flavored Pear; used a great deal for pickling, sells well on the mar- 
ket. Ripens about September 15th. 
SHELDON. A large, round, russet and red Pear of very rich, fine quality, melt- 
ing and delicious. Tree vigorous; bears well. October.
