PEAR TREES 
OUR SPECIALTY 
There seems to be a distinct demand for large 
well branched, correctly grown Pear Trees. The 
response we are receiving from retail nurseries in 
Texas and adjoining states indicates we are meeting 
that situation with trees above the ordinary. 
A tree can be no better than the roots it is 
grown on. Since we have many pear trees from 60 
to 75 years old in this area that are on the same 
kind of roots we are using we feel like we have 
our trees on the best roots. The war we had with 
Japan stopped the supply of pear seed from all the 
Oriental countries that formerly supplied seed to 
the American Nurserymen and there has been a 
scramble for something to use as a means of meet- 
ing that situation. Most growers turned to seed 
from what is probably a short lived tree, because 
the parent trees are a failure in most of the south. 
Our trees are grown on the same type of roots our 
oldest trees are on—these 60 year old trees—and 
our own seed bearing trees furnish the seed.
