DANIELS HARDY PEARS 
HOME GROWN—TREE RIPENED PEARS 
(In your own yard) 
ARE YOURS FOR THE PLANTING 
AS SURE AND AS EASY AS APPLES 
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 terri- 
tory. The varieties 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 canning needs. If you are not growing them 
you are missing something worth while! 
Pears are as easy to grow as apples—just as safe in adapted sections,

Parker Pear 
(Mnin. No. 1) 
Wonderful Pear Creation from the 
State Fruit Freeding Farm 
This, Minnesota’s largest named 
pear originated at the State Fruit 
Breeding Farm, has proven one of 
the most promising for pear culture 
in Minnesota. It was grown from a 
seed brought from Manchuria in 
1909, and developed into a large, 
free-growing tree. 
The fruit is medium to large. The 
flesh tender, almost melting, and the 
quality very good. In color it is 
yellow overlaid with a distinct blush. 
It is especially recommended for 
climates similar to central and south- 
ern Minnesota and in Minnesota has 
proven dependable in most sections 
as far north as Cass county. Season, 
early September. 

BANTAM 
and just as sure croppers. They are equally suited to lawn or orchard grow- 
ing. 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.

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. 
The tree is vigorous, productive and en- 
tirely resistant to Pear Blight. 
Bears very young. Large size trees fre- 
quently bear in the nursery row. The Uni- 
versity experts recommend planting Ban- 
tam in ALL parts of Minnesota. 
In size, as its name indicates, the 
fruit is similar to the famous Seckel 
Pear, but heavy production makes it 
“bushel up” as well as most larger 
fruiting pears. The quality is excel- 
lent as a dessert fruit—splendid for 
cooking and unsurpassed as a pick- 
ling pear. In color it is a 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. 
Only the 1 year trees are mailable. 
Mendel Pear 
40 Years Old and Still One 
of the Best 
The original Mendel tree stands in 
an exposed location at New Ulm, 
Minnesota, and has for 40 years 
shown no winter injury nor trace of 
blight. The tree is a vigorous grow- 
er. The flowers are self-pollinizing; 
the fruit hangs well to the tree, is of 
fine quality, sweet and juicy, and 
keeps well into November. Fruits of 
Mendel are as large as those of the 
Bartlett and the tree has proven a 
good producer for many, many years. 
Trees of Mendel Pears are bearing 
well throughout the southern part 
of Minnesota and are recommended 
by the University for planting as 
far north in Minnesota as Cass coun- 
ty. 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. 
DANNY SAYS: 
Good things come 
in PhARSeee ss and 
good PEARS come 
in threes as well as 
in PAIRS! If you 
could have seen and tasted the 
delicious pears the boss raised in 
our orchards last fall you wouldn’t 
let another spring go by without 
planting several yourself. Honest- 
ly—they are just as easy to grow 
as apples!
