Bartlett r Early yellow with light red 
blush, flesh juicy and sweet. The first 
pear to ripen, and a national favorite for 
all purposes. Except in the extreme north-

making a young and good producer.

Anjou - Late keeper (3732 4.4i 
with crimson blush on dark green base, 
turning yellow when fully ripe. Highly 
flavored, of excellent fresh fruit quality. 
Begins to bear young, and the fruit keeps 
for several weeks under common storage 
conditions. We. recommend it anywhere 
except extreme north, where the ripening 
season would be too short. 
Bosc - Late: keeps extra well 
Very large pear, with all the fine qualities 
to make it table-pear number one. Ripens 
late, and keeps for two to three months, 
for market and storing it is the best paid 
pear. For the Eastern states, Pacific 
states and satisfactory in the corn belt.

yellow, flesh fine grained, juicy and sweet. 
For the Mid-West and North it is better 
than Bartlett in hardiness and productiv- 
ity. 
The well Known 
Duchess * Late Duchess of Angou- 
leme. Very large, firm, sweet, with best 
canning and eating qualities. A healthy, 
hardy grower, which will give splendid re- 
sults except in the extreme North where 
the season may not be long enough to 
mature the fruit. 

Planting Instructions 
Pears should be spaced at least 30 feet 
apart, and due to their tall upright growth, 
often fit in well as shade trees on large 
lawns or back yards. Planting should be 
done as stated for apples on page 6, and 
is the 
the spraying schedule for apples 
same for pears, see pages 8 and 9.
