- NEW SEEDLESS 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 
eame out in perfect condition. It ripens evenly, no 
softening at the center.

weeks later than Bartlett and keeps a month longer. Flavor is 
sweet and with a pleasing aroma. Flesh is white, tender, but-
