YES! IT’S TRUE! 
The Amazing Story of the 
TEXKING 








rHE NEW PEAR 
CREATED BY A COW! 
TRUTH IS STRANGER THAN FICTION, and you'll agree after you 
have read this story of the new GRAYWAY TEXKING PEAR—for the 
truth is that this pear was actually created by a cow! 
Here’s the true story. A few years ago a Texas family purchased a 
pear tree. This family owned a cow that, like other cows, enjoyed eating/— 
green grass to give a lot of good white milk. 
One day a rope was tied around the cow’s neck—not to hang her, of 
course, but to keep her from wandering. The cow managed to get the 
rope wrapped securely around the young pear tree, breaking it off beneath 
the ground, and it surely looked like the end of that pear tree. But lo— 
soon a green sprout appeared from below the graft, from the original 
or wild seedling roots. Growing rapidly, this sprout soon began to bear 
pears. And what pears! Nobody had ever seen anything like them. Experts 
in the U. S. Dept. of Agraculture said that so far as they knew, it was 
unlike any named pear variety. EI 
The cow had created an entirely new pear. The GRAYWAY TEXKING|- 
is an early bearer—little trees only 3 to 4 feet high bear heavily. Appears 
highly resistant to blight. Fruits large, russet in color, and gets sweet on)— 
the tree. Ripens early and keeps a long time. I have kept them in my 
refrigerator until after Christmas. Flesh smooth with practically no grit.|~ 
It’s grand for canning and preserving—and tastes mighty good right off 
the tree. We have never seen a pear produce more heavily, and the tree)” 
is a good, upright grower. 
In full bloom, covered from tip to|- 
** tip with snow-white blossoms, the|- 
Texking pear is a very charming) 
ornamental tree. 3
