THE BLIGHT-RESISTANT PEAR FOR COMMERCIAL 
ORCHARDISTS AND FRUIT GROWERS 
This variety is most highly recommended by the Ohio, and 
other, Experiment Stations in the United States as an interme- 
diate understock for all plantings of Pear. This year is the 
first that we have had the Old Home variety to offer to our 
customers. 

GORHAM 
The procedure to follow in growing the various Pear varieties 
on this blight-resistant understock is to plant these Old Home 
A Blight-Resistant Pear to Follow Bartlett trees in their permanent location. When fully established, the 
Planting and Cultural Directions 
With spray schedules for all fruit trees are included in 
our 16-page “Successful Planting’? Booklet mailed free 
with each order. 
Fruit trees must not be neglected after planting. Provide a 
mulch around the tree or keep the soil well cultivated to prevent 
excessive drying out. 
The pruning of all fruit trees should be with the aim of 
forming a symmetrical top, with an even’ distribution of 
branches; then thin out water sprouts and branches so as to 
allow plenty of air and sunlight into the tree; to cut back 
lateral branches only enough to keep them from becoming too 
whippy and to top the leaders of the trees so that they may 
not become too tall. In case of Peach trees considerably more 
annual pruning is done on all branches to prevent the tree 
from setting more fruit than it can properly bring to maturity.
