“BUD-SELECTION” 
Here is one of the most dependable sellers in American 
fruits. The Pear thrives most anywhere, although it 
does best in heavy clay and clay loams. But, American 
housewives “‘know their Pears” and discriminate in pur- 
chase. Therefore, only the better varieties, as developed 
through Bud Selection, assure maximum success and 
profit. They are choicer, juicier, better shaped, richer in 
color and flavor and win higher prices, quicker sale. 
With a long ripening and selling season, Pears offer 
you a greater money-making opportunity.

Summer Pears 
Bartlett (Nichol). See page 12. 
Clapp’s Favorite (Nye No. 5). This selection is an annual 
bearer of large sized fruit. The production of this strain 
is very good and it maintains a satisfactory standard for 
the variety. A large, fine Pear, resembling the Bartlett, 
but without its musky flavor, pale lemon yellow, with red 
cheek, fine texture, melting, buttery, juicy, with a rich, 
sweet, delicate vinous flavor. Tree hardy and very pro- 
ductive; very desirable in all sections, especially where 
other varieties fail. August. 
Gorham (New York Experiment Station). <A new late 
Bartlett Pear ripening late Summer about two weeks after 
Bartlett, but keeps a month longer. The tree is vigorous, 
hardy, and resistant to blight. Good pollenizer. Fruit 
resembles Bartlett in shape, color, and size. Flavor 
sweet and aromatic. Flesh white and tender, buttery and’ 
juicy, a combination which with its rich flavor and spicy 
aroma makes it one of the favored Pears of the season. 
Recommended for eating out of hand, for cooking and for 
market. Plant to follow Bartlett.

Innovation in Tree Production 

Above is an illustration which shows the necessity for Bud 
Selection. Pictured are Pears from one limb showing marked 
variation in color and shape. One can see what would happen 
if trees were grown from buds cut undiscriminately from such 
a branch. Only by careful, long, ceaseless observation progeny 
testing and recording can true quality and profitable strains be 
assured and final stability of.the true characteristics of strains 
for which it acquires its commercial value be guaranteed. Assured 
quality, true to performance are the trees you buy in Greening

AUTUMN PEARS— Continued 
Conference (South Haven Experiment Station). This vari- 
ety was recently imported from England where it is much 
esteemed as one of their finest fruits. The Conference 
Pear in England is what the Bartlett Pear is in the United 
States. It is medium to large size, averaging 31% in. in 
length, 214 in. in diameter, beautiful cone shape, greenish 
yellow, with russet markings; flesh white, with just a sug- 
gestion of pink, fine grain, very juicy, has a very rich 
flavor. In cold storage they keep until Christmas or after; 
in a common cellar until the first of November. This 
variety is recommended as an effective pollenizer for 
Bartlett.

tiful, strong grower and good bearer and a popular market 
variety. Fruit subject to skin scab, which is easily con- 
trolled in the commercial orchard. Season September to

Number of Pear Trees Required 
Not just a sprinkling of spray material, but an actual ‘‘bath’’ of the fruit trees 
while traveling on its own power down the nursery rows. Note the slots where the 
oad Moa machine Gaves through the row. The sprayers are inside of the hood and as the 
18x18 ft. apart......... 154 per acre machine passes through the rows the trees are literally submerged by spray material. 
ZOs2 0th apatta va ae 108 per acre Through a special device, the surplus spray material is not thrown to the winds but 
drops into small troughs at the base of the hoods and is then pumped back, screened, 
24x24 ft. apart:......... ¢d per acre 
and again returned to the supply tank for use, thus reducing spraying costs to one- 
third of the ordinary open air spray method. Covers 30 acres per day.
