PEARS 
Most Pears need cross-pollination for best results. Plant at least two different varie- 
ties. Bartlett and Seckel do not cross-pollinate. Any other variety will pollinate them. 
Duchesse d'Angouleme is self-fruitful. Plant Standard Pear trees 20 ft. apart, Dwarf 
Pear trees 15 ft. apart. Months after name of variety indicate the time or ripening.

BARTLETT. September. The leading commercial Pear, and the best for canning. Tree bears 
abundantly. Fruit golden yellow, flesh tender and juicy, with a delicious musky flavor.

White flesh, rich and delicious. Tree very productive. 
CAYUGA. September-November. A new Pear, originated at New York State Experiment Station, 
Geneva, N. Y. Averages as large as Bartlett, and possesses a delectable flavor. The quality 
is better than any other Pear except Seckel, its parent. 
CLAPP’S FAVORITE. August-September. Large yellow Pear, fine texture, melting, with a rich, 
sweet, delicate flavor. Tree hardy and very productive. Thrives where other varieties fail.

and quality. Bears early and abundantly. Blight resistant.

in a cool place will keep until June.
