ning and drying. The fruit is of good size, shapely;

a red blush. The flesh is juicy and excellent in 
quality. It is the first commercial variety to ripen 
and the trees are vigorous and productive. 
BEURRE D’ANJOU. FTS53. Because the fruit is prized 
for its keeping qualities, this variety has gained 
important commercial rank in California. The fruit 
is large, greenish-yellow, partially russetted and 
often shaded a dull crimson. The flesh is whitish, 
of vinous flavor and highly perfumed.

worked on to these main limbs. 
SECKEL. FTS58. (Summer Seckel.) August. A beauti- 
ful small fruit ripening in late summer. Skin is 
yellow with russet cheek; flesh is exceptionally 
fine grained, sweet and buttery. Many consider 
it the finest eating fruit for the home orchard.

ripen and one of the best in quality. Medium to 
large in size, it has a yellow skin overlaid with 
brown russet. The flesh is juicy, rich and sweet.

keeping qualities and is marketed from storage 
during the winter and spring months.
