PLANT CHAMPION’S PEAR 
TREES PRODUCED FROM 
BLIGHT RESISTANT STRAINS 

This new amazing pear resembles Bartlett 
in shape, size and color but posesses many 
qualities which are not found in Bartlett. 
First it is Seedless and Coreless. Naturally 
this does away with core-rot which is so preva- 
lent in other varieties of pears. This wonderful 
pear shows great resistance to the fatal fire 
blight. 
It ripens a few days later than Bartlett 
which makes it a valuable market pear as well 
as a wonderful pear for home use. Imagine the 
time saved and the amount of fruit saved by 
the one reason of not having to core each pear 
when preparing it for table use or for canning. 

PRICE OF COPE’8 SEEDLESS PEAR 
5 to 6 ft., 1 to 5 trees, $3.50 each
