lent flavor. .

ping. Tree slow grower, but most produc

pear, buttery and melting, with sprightly 
flavor; tree a fine grower and very pro- 
ductive. One of the best. October and

McDANIEL'S 
BLIGHT PROOF 
The tree is large, vigorous, upright, 
spreading, hardy and productive. The fruit 
while not large is sufficient in size to meet 
the demand for a good dessert fruit and 
no rival in season surpasses the Sheldon 
for appearance and quality. The flesh is 
melting and juicy, sweet, vinous and highly 
perfumed. Keeps well and is a good ship- 
per. Fruit matures in October. 
CHRISTMAS PEAR—Offering for the first 
time the most delicious, sweet pear for 
eating on Christmas day. Gathering it 
after the last killing frost, like the Yates 
Apple, store it in a normal place and eat 
their goodness in dead winter. Good 
preserving pear, canning and for table 
use in general. It's a good grower, heavy 
bearer, long life. 
BUERRE CLAIRGEAU—Because of splendid 
tree characters, should be a mainstay 
in the American pear growing. The trees 
are vigorous, healthy, and productive; 
they do equally well as standards or 
dwarfs. The fruits have a handsome 
yellow skin covered with red and a 
crimson cheek. This handsome coat 
covers flesh that is coarse, granular flesh 
—but not too good. The core is large 
and often soft. 
CAYUGA—Is a new pear sent out by the 
Geneva Experiment Station as a large 
Seckel of which it is a seedling. The 
pears are larger than the Seckel—nearly 
as large as the Bartlett. The trees are 
vigorous, very resistant to blight, and 
grow exceptionally well either as stand- 
ards or dwarfs.

CHRISTMAS PEAR 
WAITE PEAR 
A New Pear With 
Commercial Possibilities 
10 Times More Blight Resistant 
Than Keiffer. Bartlett Shape and 
Size. Fine Quality, Almost Seed- 
less. 
A product of the U. S. D. A. Bureau of 
Plant Industry developed by Mr. M. B. 
Waite. The Waite pear, previously tested 
as No. 66131, is outstanding in blight re- 
sistance, never developing under severe 
test conditions more than 10% as much 
blight as the Keiffer. The fruit resembles 
that of Bartlett and is about the same size, 
ripening after Bartlett and just before 
Keiffer. The flesh is smooth in texture and 
almost free of grit cells. It is more acid 
than Bartlett but is excellent for cooking 
and canning and fairly good for dessert 
purposes. The tree is rather slender, 
willowly grower and of moderate vigor. 
The Waite pear requires cross pollination 
for consistent crops. The fruits are very 
attractive, having good finish, slight blush. 
Nearly all fruits observed were almost 
seedless, showing extremely small core.
