Seckel Sugar Pears 
Also called Sugar Pear. 
Seckel Pear Fruit is not very large, 
but is of finest flavor, as good as the best 
for table use, and for this purpose Seckel 
should be in every orchard. I do not recom- 
mend it for canning. Tree is a slow grower, 
but bears extra well, and is hardy. Can be 
grown wherever pears are known to suc- 
ceed. Seckel ripens in September. 
The pear that is 
Bartlett—Early first on the market, 
ripening end of July and August. A pear 
of fine quality for eating and canning, and 
the tree is hardy in the eastern states, the 
corn belt, and of course in the South. 
Bosc Winter Pear finest, quality 
winter pear; extra large, long tapering, rus- 
set. Keeps well. Tree vigorous, and pro- 
fuse bearer. Hardy anywhere in Middle 
West and East. Plant more of this wonder- 
ful fruit. 
Pears Are Not Very Plentiful; Order Early. 

PLANTING INSTRUCTIONS 
Pears should be spaced at least 30 feet 
apart, and due to their tall, upright growth, 
often fit in well as shade trees, for in- 
stance, in the back yard. Planting of the 
trees should be done as stated for apples on 
pages 8 to 11. Pears succeed in poor soil, 
in fact they begin to bear younger if the 
trees grow slow due to inferior soil.

Kieffer The popular late market pear 
for canning. A hardy, heavy 4 
producer, that can be .grown anywhere, 
even in the North where other pears would | 
not be sufficiently hardy. For fresh eating 
the quality of Kieffer is not as. good as that 
of the other sorts listed here, but for can- 
ning it is as good as any. For this purpose 
the pears are ground up and canned with 4 
lemon, orange, or quince for flavoring. You 
may try this method; I am sure you will 
like them, and find canning very simple.
