PEAR TREES 
Our Pear trees are all budded on French seedling roots, insuring 
hardiness and health. We imported some of the scions from St. Law- 
rence 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, 
regular 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 seeding 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,

greenish in color, juicy and a good canning Pear, one of the best for 
autumn. 
FLEMISH BEAUTY. A large, beautiful, melting, 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 beautiful tree for 
planting along farm drives. Fruit, while hard when picked from tree, 
if placed in cellar until Thaksgiving becomes very good to eat. Sells 
well for market sort.

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 regular in outline; skin smoother. Comes dur- 
ing the season between Bartlett and Phelps. 
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 market. Ripens about Sep- 
tember 15th.

fine quality, melting and delicious. Tree vigorous; bears 
well. October.
