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 simular 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, 
en ered and delightful. One of the best Pears on the market.

DUCHESS (of Angouleme). One of the very largest of good Pears; 
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 Partlett 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 Thanksgiving becomes very good to eat. Sells 
well for market sort. 
PHELPS. Phelps is a cross between Winter Nelis and Russet 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 during 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 September 15th. Clapp’s Favorite 
SHELDON. A large, round, russet and red Pear of very rich, fine qual- 
ity, melting and delicious. Tree vigorous; bears well: October.
