. . . PRODUCED FROM

SUMMER VARIETIES 
BARTLETT. Leads all the pears for the 
number of trees planted, as it is readily 
adaptable to a wide range of soil and cli- 
matic conditions. The fruits are large, hand- 
some, and of a high quality, keeping and 
shipping remarkably well making it very 
desirable for the table or for market use. 
CLAPP’S FAVORITE. It is the standard 
late summer pear to precede Bartlett, which 
it much resembles, in size, shape, flavor, 
and color. 
GORHAM. The fruit ripens two weeks later 
than Bartlett and keeps a month longer. 
The fruit resembles Bartlett in size, color, 
and shape. 
COPE’S SEEDLESS PEARS 
e@ Blight Resistant 
e No Core 
HIS NEW VARIETY resembles 
Bartlett but is seedless and core- 
less, and shows great resistance to fire 
blight. It ripens a few days later than 
Bartlett. Much time is saved by not 
having to core each pear when pre- 
paring it for use. 
WINTER VARIETIES 
ANJOU. The fruits are large, uniform green- 
ish yellow, with firm, juicy flesh, and as an 
early winter pear it has no superior. 
BOSC. The fruits of this pear are nearly 
flawless in every character, extra large, 
long and tapering russet. 
DUCHESS. Very large and rich and juicy. 
Pick them before maturity, wrap in tissue 
paper and pack them away for complete 
ripening. 
FLEMISH BEAUTY. A large, . beautiful, 
very juicy and rich pear. September. 
KIEFFER. The large size, handsome appear- 
ance, and remarkable keeping and shipping 
qualities puts the fruit among the best.

A small pear of excellent flavor, fine for 
pickling or dessert, very productive and a 
profitable commercial pear.
