LUSCIOUS TREE-RIPENED PEARS 
FOR YOUR Eating Pleasure 
Suitable for Lawn or Orchard 
PATTEN PEAR 
This Pear was originated by Chas. Patten a number of years ago and has since been thor- 
oughly tested and is now recommended for planting in the southern half of Minnesota. 
Patten is a strong, vigorous growing tree and very productive. Prof. H. L. Lantz says, 
“This Patten Pear, as grown at Charles City, has never blighted and has been productive 
and vigorous. The fruit is of good size, resembles Bartlett in form, very tender, juicy and 
good quality; season September.” 
Now that it is so clearly demonstrated that these Pears can be successfully grown in Min- 
nesota, all orchards should include a good assortment. We can heartily recommend Patten. 
PARKER PEAR *** 
This splendid Pear was introduced a few years ago by the Minnesota State Fruit Breed- 
ing Farm and has been steadily gaining recognition and favor since that time. It is now 
recommended for general planting in the southern half of the state and is suggested for 
trial in favorable locations farther north. 
Prof. Alderman, Chief of Horticulture, University of Minnesota, describes the tree as 
“large, vigorous and free growing. The fruit is medium to large, with smooth medium thick 
skin; color clear medium yellow, usually with blush; flesh is tender, medium fine grained, 
juicy, sweet and of very good quality. Fruit ripens in early September.” Somewhat subject 
to blight if grown too rapidly. 
NEW BANTAM PEAR **x* 
Bantam was originated at the Minnesota State Fruit Breeding Farm. The fruit is not as 
large as the other varieties, but makes up in quality what it may lack in size. The tree is as 
hardy as a Duchess Apple tree and can be grown successfully wherever Duchess can be 
grown. It is free from blight and is a heavy and annual cropper. To eat or to can this new 
Pear has made a place for itself.

ANDREWS STRAWBERRY PLANTS 
GEM The Most Practical Everbearing 
Gem is the most practical everbearing Strawberry on the market. Gem bears very heavily. 
The fruit is of good size, light in color, very showy and attractive. 
Gem is a good Strawberry for the home garden because of the long season of fruiting 
and the large number of berries produced. The government urges more fruit for better 
health. The sensible way is to plant this spring and grow your own. 
PRE M i ER The Most Dependable Early Variety 
Other varieties have come and gone but Premier still holds its No. 1 position as the most 
dependable commercial, and the most successful home garden variety. Premier berries are 
of good average size, a medium red color and very attractive in the package. ihe Premier 
does well over a wide range of territory and on almost any soil, thus becoming a favorite 
of the home gardener and commercial grower alike. 
DUNLAP An Old Favorite 
The berries are medium to large, conical and often slightly necked, dark crimson with a 
deep red flesh, quality very good. The plants are healthy and vigorous. Very productive. 
Grows on all kinds of soil, and in extremely cold climates. A good variety for canning and 
a good pollinizer for pistillate varieties. Holds up a long while after being picked. Season 
a few days after Premier begins bearing.
