DELICIOUS — EASY TO GROW = DO WELL PLANTED 
IN SOD — RIGHT IN YOUR OWN YARD! 

Pears grow in any ordinary soil, even in sod, right in your 
yard. Plant 20 feet apart. Two trees, alike or different 
varieties, planted near each other so they can cross-pollinize, 
will both produce more heavily than if planted alone. To tell 
when Pears are ready to pick, place the palm of your hand 
under a Pear, raise it gently and if the stem snaps off easily 
from the limb, they are ready to pick. Then put them in a 
cool, dark place to ripen and you will have Pears of the 
highest quality. 
5F90 Bartlett—Our most popular summer Pear. Fruit is large, 
yellow with blush, juicy, sweet, high quality. 
5-93. ~Bierschmidt—A new summer Pear ripening a few days 
after Bartlett. Originating in Northern Iowa, it is hardier than 
Bartlett. Good bearer. Highest quality. Blight resistant. 
5F92. Kieffer—The most widely planted winter Pear. A healthy, 
hardy and vigorous grower which bears young, heavily and regu- 
Jarly.. The fruit is large and fills countless jars every season. Pick 
the fruit when it starts to color and let it ripen in a cool, dark 
place. Then it is delicious. Blight resistant.

5F88 Cope’s New Seedless Pear—A New Fruit Sensation. A 
Pear That Has No Seeds and No Core. In addition, it has every- 
thing else that you could ask for in a pear; great producer, ex- 
cellent quality, size, beauty, vigor and hardiness. The fruit is 
large, a beautiful golden-yellow with a blush. The flesh is tender 
and sweet, juicy and delicious. Fine to eat fresh and ideal for 
canning as it has no seeds, no core. 
The ‘‘Coreless”’ and ‘‘Seedless’’ features alone will appeal to those 
who eat them fresh or can them. 
Bears Young, Does Not Blight 
The original tree began bearing when 3 years old, and at 5 years of 
age it produced 3 bushels of perfect fruit. The trees in the nursery 
rows sometimes bear fruit. Other Pears right next to Cope’s Seed- 
less have blighted but it has never shown any signs of blight. 
Its early bearing qualities and resistance to blight place this va- 
riety among the leading Pears. 
A Delicious Summer Pear 
It ripens about 10 days after Bartlett and ripens evenly without 
any softening at the center. It is a self-pollenizer but will produce 
more fruit if two Cope’s trees are planted near each other. If 
there are other varieties of Pears close, so they cross-pollenize, 
then Cope’s may have a few small seeds.
