. WAUNESBORD AURSERIES, Ine 
WAYNESBORO PEARS 
Pears in the East are planted chiefly in the family orchard or in a limited way for local market 
and roadside stand; few home owners are even growing enough of this delicious fruit for home use. 
The varieties we offer are those which have been thoroughly tested and found well adapted and 
desirable for planting in the territory we serve, selected to furnish fresh fruit from July to January. 
However all Pears as far as we can determine are, unfortunately, subject to blight—some being 
more resistant than others. We believe the following list of varieties the best for this section, 
BARTLETT. Large, long, rich golden yellow, red cheek; thin skinned, 
buttery and melting, with rich, musky flavor; tree strong grower, 
bears young and abundantly. Extensively grown and most popular. 
August. 
















BOSC. A new California variety receiving national attention due to its 
late ripening and excellent keeping qualities, as well as it is a Pear of 
superior flavor and dessert qualities. Medium to large, with slender 
neck and attractive brownish yellow skin. Tree rather slow grower. 
25c. per tree extra. 
CAYUGA, Improved Seckel, differing from its parent chiefly by being 
larger. 
CLAPP’S FAVORITE. An old variety resembling Bartlett in shape, 
color and quality, but ripening a month earlier. 
GARBER. Very large, greenish yellow with splashes of red. Somewhat 
coarser grain than the Bartlett, but one of the best of its season. 
September. 
GORHAM. Improved Bartlett. Same high quality and attractive 
appearance, ripening two weeks later. Less subject to blight. 
KIEFFER. Large, well known. Somewhat coarse grained, but one o! 
the best canning varieties and possibly planted in more home orchards 
than any other Pear. Easily grown, less subject to blight than many, 
strong grower, early and _ prolific bearer. 
Somewhat bell-shaped. Golden background, 
with a red blush. Recommended not only for 
the home orchard, but for the local market 
and roadside stands. Late September. 




Bartlett 

._ <——— NEW ORIENT BLIGHT-RESISTANT PEAR 
Produced by crossing a Chinese and European Strain, producing a blight- 
resistant variety of good quality, adapted to areas where blight makes many 
varieties impossible. Large, vigorous trees bearing enormous crops. Fruit round, 
yellowish background with red blush, melting, juicy, mild, sub-acid flavor, creamy 
white flesh. Late August. Excellent for canning. If troubled with Pear blight, 
we recommend New Orient. 4-5 ft. trees in lots of 1 to 10, $2.75 each; 10 or more, 
$2.50 each. 
LE CONTE. Medium size, greenish background, red cheek. Somewhat re- 
sembles Kieffer, but ripens month later. Can be grown farther South than 
many varieties. 
SECKEL. The famous little brown, rusty-colored sweet Pear, often referred 
to as Sugar Pear. Very sweet, fine grained; excellent quality. An ideal 
pear for pickling and canning whole, as well as enjoyed when served fresh 
from tree. Late September.

at time of transplanting, as well as the nature of the soil, care given, the season, and many other conditions. 
Even some varieties of a class will begin 
fruiting earlier than others. 
So the above table gives only approximate bearing ages under normal conditions.
