Baileys Select 
PEARS 
Heavy Yields @ Delicious Fruit 
Why not plant some Pear trees along 
with your other orchard trees? They 
will require but little additional atten- 
tion, for their pruning, spraying and 
other cultural requirements are similar 
to those of Apple trees. Two trees 
planted near enough to permit cross- 
pollinization will produce more heavily 
than if planted alone. 
You will want hardy stock in the north 
central states. Bailey’s Pears are all 
budded or grafted on roots known to 
be hardy in this climate. 

Bantam. Here is another fine’ fruit 
tree from the Minnesota Fruit Breeding 
Farm. The fruit is small in size, but the 
tree is early bearing and very produc- 
tive. The Pears are greenish yellow with 
a bronze blush. They ripen early and 
are of very good quality for canning or 
eating fresh. The tree has proven to be 
very hardy and very resistant to fire 
blight. 
Parker 
Mendel. Mendel may well be included in 
a selected list of fruit varieties for the home 
orchard. The fruit is yellow and russet in 
color, above medium size, tender and juicy. 
The flavor is pleasant and the quality is very 
good for eating fresh and canning. This Pear 
ripens late and should be stored 3 weeks after 
picking to permit proper ripening. They will 
keep until mid-November. The tree is hardy 
and productive.

was originated at the Minnesota Fruit Breed- 
ing Farm. The fruit is greenish yellow with 
an attractive blush. The size is large. The 
Pears ripen in midseason and keep about 3 
weeks. The quality is very good for eating 
and canning.
