Selicious PEARS 
HARDY— EASY TO GROW 
The pear thrives over a wide range of soils and climatic con- 
ditions. The French pear 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. Two trees alike or differ- 
ent, planted near each other, will produce more heavily than 
if planted alone. 
BARTLETT—A well-known favorite for eating fresh or can- 
ning. Large size, buttery, juicy and highly flavored. Tree a 
strong grower and bears early and abundantiy. August- 
September. 
BOSC (Beurre Bosc)—Large, deep yellow, russet colored and 
long neck. Juicy and delicious. One of the best autumn pears. 
Good keeper. September-November. 
*COMICE—Skin rich yellow at maturity, often lightly shaded 
with crimson. Flesh white, fine grained and melting, sweet 
and rich. Very good. October-November. 
ANJOU (Beurre D’Anjou)—A fine pear; rather large, flesh 
vellowish white, rich and vinous flavored. Tree good grower 
and productive. October-January. 
FLEMISH BEAUTY—Large fruit; pale yellow, becoming 
reddish brown at maturity on the sunny side. Flesh yellowish 
white and juicy. Excellent for canning. Late September. 
WINTER NELLIS—Tree hardy and thrifty. A delicious win- 
ter pear of medium size; flesh yellowish white, very juicy when 
ripe. One of the finest for eating. December-February. 
WINTER BARTLETT—Fruit large, closely resembling the 
famous Bartlett in shape and appearance but ripening consid- 
erably later. Flavor almost identical with the Bartlett. 
*KEIFFER—A large yellow pear noted for keeping. A healthy, 
hardy and vigorous grower which bears young, heavily and 
regularly. October-January. 
*SECKEL—Called the Sugar Pear because of its sweet, deli- 
cious flavor. Fruit is not large but the highest quality. Ripens 
3ears young and heavily. 
in late summer.

GRADES AND STANDARDS 
Grades and standards adopted by the Pacific Coast Association 
of Nurserymen are used throughout this catalog. To the 
average customer this means litile or nothing, so we feel that 
a brief explanation is required. Fruit trees listed as 3-4 ft., 
4-5 ft. and 5-6 ft. are trees with at least a two-year root system 
and one-year top growth from the graft or bud. Some catalogs 
list these trees as 2-year field grown stock, which is a correct 
statement, however, we feel that this is misleading as the 
customer is led to expect a large branched tree. Such trees 
are generally whips without branches and require heading 
or having the top cut off 30-36 inches above the ground level 
to make them branch and form a top. Caliper refers to the 
thickness of the stem or trunk of the tree just above the 
eraft or bud at the ground level, and is the main basis for 
erading fruit trees as the height will be cut back to 30-36 
inches as mentioned. Two-year trees listed are trees that have 
been headed accordingly and have from 38 to 5 main branches 
or limbs to form the top. Such trees have a heavier stem or 
trunk and average from 4 to 6 feet in height. They require 
very little pruning other than having the branches trimmed 
back or thinned out to compensate for transplanting. One- 
year trees, being smaller, transplant more readily and are 
generally used by commercial growers. Two-year trees, how- 
ever, have the advantage of having a top formed and come 
into bearing much quicker.
