° NEW SEEDLESS PEAR > 
Quality Comparable to Bartlett 
Practically Seedless and Coreless 
Cope’s New Seedless Pear has all the qualities one can 
ask for in a Pear—Hardiness, beauty, size, quality, a 
great producer and apparently quite resistant to Blight. 
Bears at an Early Age. Full Crop at Five Years 
We often find something new in the fruit line, but seldom do we 
find something better. We feel that a great discovery has been 
made in this new Seedless and Coreless Pear. It resembles Bart- 
lett in many ways and in color it has that beautiful yellow of the 
Bartlett tinged with bright pink. The original tree began produc- 
ing at three years old and at five years produced three bushels of 
perfect fruit. Another great point in favor of this variety is that 
it ripens ten days after Bartlett, a season in which no other good 
varieties are on the market. It ripens evenly, no softening at the 
center.

Cultural Directions 
For All Fruit Trees 
1. Plant all fruit trees about two inches deeper than 
they stood in the Nursery row (except Dwarf Apple 
and Pear which should be set the same depth). 
2. Dig holes plenty wide enough to spread the roots, 
using the good top soil and peat mixed and firmed 
well around the roots. 
3. Fill the holes three fourths full, firm well and 
then put at least a bucket of water in and allow to 
soak down. Fill the hole with loose soil and add a 
little more water and a mulch of peat moss over the 
top around the tree. 
4. Be sure to trim the tops back’ as indicated in 
our planting guide. (In Fall planting delay the cut- 
ting until early Spring.) 
5. You will insure a good start for your trees 
Spring or Fall (and emphatically the latter) by wrap- 
ping the trunks and well over the tops with coarse 
paper or light burlap. As the buds start growth re- 
move the wrapping from tops. The trunks may be 
protected longer if desired.

mulch around the tree or keep the soil well cultivated to prevent 
excessive drying out.
