heavy winds without 
dropping. Brownish

juicy, with a rich fla- 
vor and pleasing aro-

grower, but most pro-

different climates, soils and situations. Fruit is large, golden 
yellow in color with a reddish blush on the sunny side. Flesh 
is tender and juicy, with a delicious musky aroma. Trees are vigorous, attain 
large size, bear young, live long, and barring frosts or freezes, they bear full 
crops year after year. Justly the leading commercial Pear—a leader among 
canning Pears. September-October. (September 1st—10th)

color, but turning to yellow when ripe, dotted with russet. The yellowish-white flesh 
is firm but tender, very juicy, sweet, spicy, with a rich vinous flavor. Trees hardy and 
vigorous growers, come into bearing early. Of all Winter Pears, none is more valuable

ber to November. (September 10th—25th)
