PEARS FOR THE NORTHWEST 
May sound too good to be true, but it’s a 
fact that we can now grow pears here in 
the North—good eating and good canning, 
too. We’re doing it now, many, many others 
are and you can, too. 
Pears are no longer an experiment in 
Minnesota and adjacent territory. The vari- 
eties we list have proven their suitability to 
this climate with many years of successful 
production. The new Bantam (Minn. No. 3) 
is the finest small pear yet developed for the 
North. You can now grow in your own 
home orchard good quality pears in sufficient 
quantities for any family’s eating and can- 
ning needs. If you are not growing them | 
you are missing something worth while! ae i 
Pears are as easy to grow as apples-—just as safe in adapted sections, and just as sure croppers. 
They are equally suited to lawn or orchard growing. As they make a somewhat narrow tree they 
may be planted closer together, usually 20x25 feet apart, so are even better adapted to backyard 
culture. It is safest to plant two varieties for best pollination—although these pears are fairly 
self fertile. Add 10% if to go by mail. 



Prices on Pears: Large size $2.00 each; 2 for $3.75; 3 (1 of each variety) only $5.00 
The Great New Pear 
BANTAM 
(Minn, No. 3) 
The earliest, sweetest, hardiest, and quickest fruiter of the Pears. 
Bantam is the new name just given to the Minnesota No. 3 Pear by its originators, the 
University of Minnesota. It is loudly acclaimed the finest, small hardy pear. Hardy enough for 
the Northwest. Has stood up well even far north in Minnesota. d 
The tree is vigorous, productive and entirely resistant to Pear Blight. ‘ ; 
Bears very young. Large size trees frequently bear in the nursery row. The University experts 
recommend planting Bantam in ALL parts of Minnesota. 
In size, as its name indicates, the fruit is similar to the famous Seckel Pear, but heavy produc- 
tion makes it “bushel up” as well as most larger fruiting pears. The quality is excellent as a 
dessert fruit—splendid for cooking and unsurpassed as a pickling pear. In color it isa yellowish- 
russet, sometimes with a light blush of pink. Season September Ist to 15th. Don’t fail to plant 
this splendid new pear this year—but order early as supplies are limited. 
MENDEL PEAR 
39 Years Old and Still One of the Best 
igi ndel tree stands in an exposed location at New Ulm, Minnesota, and has for 
39 ae ah ewi tee injury nor trace of blight. The tree is a vigorous grower. The flowers 
are self-pollinizing; the fruit hangs well to the tree, is of fine quality, sweet and juicy, and keeps 
twell into November. Fruits of Mendel are as large as those of the Bartlett and the tree has 
for many, man ears. i 
CEM aor Be eae Pear are pearing well throughout the southern part of Minnesota and are 
recommended by the University for planting as far north in Minnesota as Cass county. Plant 
Mendel now and enjoy your share of this, the finest of fruits for the North! We have fruited it 
since 1925—for 20 years.
