PEARS 
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

BARTLETT. August 15. The favorite eating Pear of America, East or West. Large, beau- 
tiful yellow with soft blush; high flavor. 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 desirable. For keeping longer, pack in shallow trays or 
wrap the fruit in paper and store in a room free from frost. In this manner it can be 
kept until Christmas. 
LINCOLN. Blight-resistant and bears regular crops. Perfectly hardy and quality almost 
equals Bartlett. Season of ripening about September Ist. Plant with confidence. Con- 
sidered 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.
