CLAPP’S FAVORITE 
THE LATE SUMMER PEAR 
This is perhaps the largest of all the 
pears that we have, and always tops the 
market because of its excellent appear- 
ance. It is greenish yellow skinned with 
a dark-red blush. Is quite juicy and 
sweet. Is a good shipper and the fruit 
ripens a few days after Bartlett. Priced 
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 com- 
mercial Pear—a leader among canning 
Pears. Fruit ripens early September. 
Priced above. 
SECKEL 
THE PERFECT SUGAR PEAR 
A little red sugar pear. It is the rich- 
est, highest flavored pear known. Is very 
much desired for picking and canning pur- 
poses. Tree is very hardy, and grows un- 
der adverse conditions very well. Ripens 
late September. Priced above.

NEW BOSC 
THE LONG-NECK WINTER PEAR 
A popular variety, and one of the best 
winter varieties. Fruit of artistic, long 
necked shape, golden russet color, with 
juicy, white flesh. Can be kept in storage 
for use during the holidays. Trees are 
rather small-growing, but heavy yielders. 
Priced above. 
LINCOLN 
THE GIANT FALL PEAR 
Truly a giant in size! Is fast becoming 
a leader, due to its excellent quality, size 
and ability to produce a sure crop every year. Fine 
for eating, canning or shipping. Ripens October; fruit 
is yellow with pale green and pink tints. Don’t fail to 
try some this year. Priced above.

FAVORITE WINTER STORAGE PEAR 
One of the largest best known Pears. One of the best 
canning varieties and is possibly planted in more home 
orchards than any other variety. One of the easiest 
Pears to grow, less subject to blight than many va- 
rieties, strong grower, early and prolific bearer. 
Golden background, with a red blush. Recommended 
not only for the home orchard, but for the local 










market and roadside stands. Ripens in late 
October.

NEW SEEDLESS PEAR 
The Pear without a fault! No seeds, no core, no waste! 
Solid fruit all the way through. Resembles ‘Bartlett in 
appearance, but ripens 10 days later, producing its crop 
at a time when the market is not ‘‘glutted,’’ thereby 
bringing jhighest prices. Thrifty grower, heavy bearer, 
blight-resistant, grows on any soil. Best all-’round Pear 
for commercial or home use. Heavy 4-6 foot trees $1.85 
each; 2 for $3.40, Strong super size $2.35 each; 2 for 
Bartlett Pear $4.20.
