You can prosper with 
Bass BLIGHT-PROOF 
Pineapple Sand Pears 
NOTHER profitable fruit to grow, and yet 
one which has not been sufficiently pub- 
licized to be more in demand, is the Pine- 
apple Sand Pears. We first grew Pineapple 
Sand Pears for our own use, and finding them 
of such prolific growth, such fine fruit, such 
a ready market and such a splendid profit, we 
decided to pass on our experience to our cus- 
tomers and grow these trees for them. 40 to 
75 bushels per year from many of the older 
trees in our section is nothing unusual and 
some orchards yield over 1,000 bushels to the 
acre. One orchardist produced 400 bushels on 
214 acres, one year, and two years later gath- 
ered over 3,000 bushels which sold for $2,520 
—over $800 per acre. 
Have you ever seen an orchard of pears in 
bloom? Was there anything more beautiful 
than these graceful trees in their mantle of 
white? Even when the blooms and fruit are 
gone, the trees are ornamental as well as use- 
ful and will beautify any home or land along Branches of our Blight-Proof Pineapple Pears 
a roadside. They take up but little room and loaded to capacity. : 
require no cultivation, 

S° WE NOW produce these pear trees for our 
customers, and have thousands of young, thrifty 
growing trees ready for shipment. These trees, when 
mature, will be better than our own old trees, since 
they have been propagated from our producing trees; 
thus fine parent stock, and a better start than our 
own trees had. 
The Bass Pineapple Sand Pears grow rapidly—they 
are extremely hardy. All trees have a well developed 
root system. 
GUARANTEE 
The Bass Pineapple Sand Pears are guaranteed 
not to blight in any section. 

Three other fine eating pears are offered this season 
in what is known locally as the Cox pear, the Cook 
pear, and the Orient pear. All have never shown any 
sign of blight. The price is the same as the P’ne-
