Pear S 
This old standard fruit is still being planted by many. Blight is its chief 
enemy, and as it is worse on deep, rich soil, do not over-stimulate by feeding. 
Marlatt in the back lawn it will make a beautiful tree in foliage, blossorn 
and fruit. 
BARTLETT. August 15. The favorite eating Pear of America. Large, beau- 
tiful yellow with soft blush; high flavor. Tree bears quite young. On 
account of its popularity everywhere it is the most sought after of the 
European Pears. 
KIEFFER. September 10 to 15. The most popular Pear for our section. Fruit 
is large, golden yellow, sometimes tinted red on the sun-exposed side. 
Flesh is firm, crisp, juicy, and for canning purposes it is especially prized. 
From the tree it is not good to eat, and to properly ripen, gather carefully 
and place in a dry place of even temperature. The quality improves and 
it is then desirable. For keeping longer, pack in shallow trays or wrap 
the fruit in paper and store in a room free from frost. In this manner it 
can be kept until Christmas. 
LINCOLN. Blight-resistant and bears regular crops. Perfectly hardy and 
quality almost equals Bartlett. Season of ripening about September Ist. 
Plant with confidence. Considered by many the best of the Pears. 
SECKEL. September 15. This small, high quality, yellowish brown Pear is 
one of the most popular of the September fruits. Of melting, juicy, and 
sugary quality (frequently called the “Little Sugar Pear’’). Tree is of 
slow growth but lives long and is needed in every home garden.
