BARTLETT 
THE BEST SUMMER PEAR 
There’s hardly a person that doesn’t know the Bartlett Pear and its qualities, as it is grown in, 
and is adaptable to all different climates, soils and situations. Fruit is large, golden yellow in 
color with a reddish blush on the sunny side. Flesh is tender and juicy, with a delicious musky 
aroma. Trees are vigorous, attain large size, bear young, live long, and barring frosts 
or freezes, they bear full crops year after year. Justly the leading commercial Pear—a 
leader among canning Pears. Fruit ripens early September. Prices above. 
KIEFFER 
FAVORITE WINTER. STORAGE PEAR 
One of the largest best known Pears. One of the best canning varieties and is 
possibly planted in more home orchards than any other variety. One of the 
easiest Pears to grow, less subject to blight than many varieties, strong 
grower, early and prolific bearer. Golden background, with a red blush. 
Recommended not only for the home orchard, but for the local market and 
roadside stands. Ripens in late October. For Prices See Top Of Page. 
CLAPP’S FAVORITE 
THE LATE SUMMER PEAR 
This is perhaps the largest of all the pears that we have, and always tops ne 
the market because of its excellent appearance. It is greenish yellow skinned 
with a dark-red blush. It is quite juicy and sweet. It is a good shipper and theg 
fruit ripens a few days after Bartlett. Strong 3 To 5 Foot Trees, $1.35 Each;@ 
2 For $2.50. 















NEW BOSC 
THE LONG-NECK WINTER PEAR 
A popular variety, and one of the best winter varieties. Fruit of artistic, 
long-necked shape, golden russet color, with juicy, white flesh. Can be kept 
in storage for use during the holidays. Trees are rather small-growing, but 
heavy yielders. Heavy 2 To 3 Foot Trees, $1.00 Each. 
; NEW SEEDLESS PEAR 
THE PEAR WITHOUT A CORE OR SEEDS 
The Pear without a fault! No seeds, no core, no waste! 
Solid fruit all the way through. Resembles Bartlett in ap- 
pearance, but ripens 10 days later, producing its crop at a 
time when the market is not “glutted”, thereby bringing

lows into a clear Bartlett yellow when fully mature. 
The fruit is two months later than Bartlett, very firm, 
and handles unusually well. Canning tests indicate that 
the canned product is equal to Bartlett and much better 
than Kieffer. The tree is a cropper. Covert bids fair to 
replace Kieffer for canning and for export. Good 3 To 4
