ANDREWS Hardy PEARS 
LUSCIOUS TREE-RIPENED PEARS 
FOR YOUR Eating Pleasure 
Suitable for Lawn or Orchard 

PARKER PEAR *** 
This splendid Pear was introduced a few years ago by the Minnesota State Fruit Breed- 
ing Farm and has been steadily gaining recognition and favor since that time. It is now 
recommended for general planting in the southern half of the state and is suggested for 
trial in favorable locations farther north. 
Prof. Alderman, Chief of Horticulture, University of Minnesota, describes the tree as 
“large, vigorous and free growing. The fruit is medium to large, with smooth medium thick 
skin; color clear medium yellow, usually with blush; flesh is tender, medium fine grained, 
juicy, sweet and of very good quality. Fruit ripens in early September.” Somewhat subject 
to blight if grown too rapidly. 
BANTAM PEAR k**% 
Bantam was originated at the Minnesota State Fruit Breeding Farm. The fruit is not as 
large as the other varieties, but makes up in quality what it may lack in size. The tree is as 
hardy as a Duchess Apple tree and can be grown successfully wherever Duchess can be 
grown. It is free from blight and is a heavy and annual cropper. To eat or to can, this 
Pear has made a place for itself. 

Plant these hardy northern Pears and ex- 
perience the saving and the satisfaction of 
growing your own. 
PATTEN PEAR 
This Pear was originated by Chas. Patten a number of years ago and has since been thor- 
oughly tested and is now recommended for planting in the southern half of Minnesota. BANTAM, PARKER and PATTEN

Patten is a strong, vigorous growing tree and very productive. Prof. H. L. Lantz says, 
“This Patten Pear, as grown at Charles City, has never blighted and has been productive 
and vigorous. The fruit is of good size, resembles Bartlett in form, very tender, juicy and 
good quality; season September.”

Now that it is so clearly demonstrated that these Pears can be successfully grown in Min- 
nesota, all orchards should include a good assortment. We can heartily recommend Patten. 
ANDREWS 2uclidy GRAPES 
Although Grapes are not grown on a large scale commercially in Minnesota, still they are one of the most 
popular fruits in the home garden. Grapes are not hard to grow, and furnish an excellent source of fruit for 
juice, jelly and jam. In many plantings they are used as an attractive hedge to separate the gar- 
den area from the yard, as well as for use in the well known Grape arbor. 



BETA 
A heavy, annual bearer, hardy as the Wild 
Grape. Medium size black fruit of extra good 
quality for juice and jelly, and ripens so early 
that it can be grown far north. The Beta with- 
stands our severe northern winters without pro- 
tection. They may be grown on fences, over a 
building or in a windmill tower and should bear 
heavily every year.

FREDONIA 
“The Fredonia is an early black Grape of the 
Concord type. However, it is three weeks earlier 
to ripen than Concord, which is a decided ad- 
vantage in the northern part of the country. 
The fruit is equal to, or better than Concord. 
It is very productive and is just as hardy as Con- 
cord, but Tike Concord should have winter pro- 
tection. Fredonia is rapidly becoming a standard 
variety and is replacing Concord in many districts.
