PEARS 
The pear thrives over a wide range of soils and climatic conditions. The roots withstand heavy wet 
soils better than most other fruits. Unlike other fruits, the pear develops better quality when ripened off 
the tree, and should be picked before it begins to soften. Plant trees from 20 to 25 feet apart. 
SUMMER PEARS 
BARTLETT—Large size, golden yellow when ripe, 
with beautiful blush on sunny side. Buttery, very 
Juicy and highly flavored. Tree a strong grower and 
bears early and abundantly. The most popular. Ripens 
late August, early September. 
CLAPP’S FAVORITE—A large, fine pear, resem- 
bling the Bartlett, but without its musky flavor. Fine 
texture, without graininess. Pale lemon yellow with 
slight blush. Tree hardy and productive. 
FLEMISH BEAUTY—Large, rather round in 
shape. Very hardy, producing good crops regularly. 
Fruit firm, fine in texture, sweet aromatic flavor. 
AUTUMN PEARS 
ANJOU (Buerre d’Anjou)—A large, fine pear, but- 
tery and melting. Sprightly flavor. Tree a fine grow- 
er and very productive. October to January. . 
COMICE—A splendid commercial variety, of fine 
size, good appearance, with faint reddish blush on 
sunny side. Very juicy, sweet and aromatic. . This va- 
riety should be more widely known and planted. 
SECKEL—Small, rich, yellowish brown. One of 
the best flavored pears known, fine for pickling or 
preserving. Ripens late September, early October. 
ORIENTAL PEAR—Something different. A very 
ornamental type tree, with dark, shiny leaves and 
russet colored, globular fruit. Distinctive in flavor. 
Ripens late September to October. 
Winter Varieties 
WINTER NELIS—Medium to large, skin yellowish 
green, dotted with russet. Flesh yellow-white, fine 
erained, exceptionally sweet and aromatic. Decem- 
ber. 
WINTER BARTLETT—This fine pear originated 
in Eugene, Oregon. Fruit large, closely resembling 
the famous Bartlett in shape and appearance, but 
ripening considerably later. One of the few pears of 
recent introduction having real merit.. 
BOSC: (Buerre Bosc—Fall Russett)—One of the 
best winter pears. Splendid shipping and commercial 
variety. Long, slender shape, solid russet color. Flesh 
fine-grained and very flavorful. Good keeper.

Pears available. Write for description and price.

COMBINATION PEAR TREES 
For the small yard, or city lot we have a number 
of combination pear trees which have a complete as- 
sortment of pears grafted on the one tree. Truly a 
novelty tree, yet very practical in that the pears are 
selected so they will not ripen all at one time but will 
spread over the entire fruiting season.

somewhat, however care will be taken to select special 
varieties where ordered if at all possible.
