DANIELS HARDY PEARS 
HOME GROWN—TREE RIPENED PEARS 
(In your own yard) 
ARE YOURS FOR THE PLANTING 
AS SURE AND AS EASY AS APPLES 
May sound too good to be true, but it’s a fact that we can now grow 
pears here in the North—good eating and good canning, too. We’re doing 
it now, many, many others are and you can, too. ; 
Pears are no longer an experiment in Minnesota and adjacent terri- 
tory. The varieties we list have proven their suitability to this climate 
with many years of successful production. 
The new Bantam (Minn. 
No. 3) is the finest small pear yet developed for the North. You can now 
grow in your own home orchard good quality pears in sufficient quan- 
tities for any family’s eating and canning needs. If you are not growing 
them you are missing something worth while! 
Parker Pear 
Minn. No. 1) 
Wonderful Pear Creation from the 
State Fruit Breeding Farm 
This, Minnesota’s largest named 
pear orisinated at the State Fruit 
Breeding Farm, has proven of real 
value in Minnesota. 
The fruit is large. The flesh tender 
and juicy, and the quality very good. 
In color it is yellow overlaid with 
a distinct blush. It is especially 
recommended for general planting 
in southern Minnesota and in favor- 
able locations in the north. Season, 
early September. 

BANTAM 

Pears are as easy to grow as apples—just as safe in adapted sections, 
and just as sure croppers. They are equally suited to lawn or orchard grow- 
ing. As they make a somewhat narrow tree they may be planted closer 
together, usually 20x25 feet apart, so are even better adapted to backyard 
culture. It is safest to plant two varieties for best pollination—although 
these pears are fairly self fertile. 

DANNY SAYS: 
Don’t be blind- 
folded to the Hor- 
ticultural “Facts 
of Life.” If you 
know all about 
the bees and the 
flowers and the fruit, Why don’t you 
raise your own, HONEY?

The Great New Pear 
Bantam 
(Minn. No. 3) 
The Earliest, Sweetest, Hardiest, and 
Quickest Fruiter of the Pears 
Bantam is the new name just 
given to the Minnesota No. 3 Pear 
by its originators, the University of 
Minnesota. 
Considered the hardiest of the 
pears, Bantam has withstood even 
our northern Minnesota climate. It 
bears young and yields heavily. The 
fruit is excellent for eating and 
splendid for cooking and pickling. 
The tree is vigorous and entirely 
blight resistant. 
In size, as its name indicates, the 
fruit is similar to the famous Seckel 
Pear, but heavy production makes it 
“bushel up” as well as most larger 
fruiting pears. The quality is excel- 
lent as a dessert fruit—splendid for 
cooking and unsurpassed as a pick- 
ling pear. In color it is a yellowish- 
russet, sometimes with a light blush 
of pink. Season September lst to 
15th. Don’t fail to plant this splendid 
new pear this year—but order early 
as supplies are limited.

Mendel Pear 
40 Years Old and Still One 
of the Best 
Another of the best hardy pears. 
The tree is a vigorous grower and 
blight resistant. Fruit is of medium 
size and of fine quality, sweet and 
juicy and clings well to the tree. 
Keeps well into November. 
Trees of Mendel Pears are bearing 
well throughout the southern part 
of Minnesota and are recommended 
by the University for planting as 
far north in Minnesota as Cass coun- 
ty. Plant Mendel now and enjoy 
your share of this, the finest of fruits 
for the North! We have fruited it 
since 1925—for 25 years. 
DANNY SAYS: 
Good things come 
ibal JeADVAWaAS) 5 ebavel 
good PEARS come 
in threes as well as 
in PAIRS! If you 
could have seen and tasted the 
delicious pears the boss raised in 
our orchards last fall you wouldn’t 
let another spring go by without 
planting several yourself. Honest- 
ly—they are just as easy to grow 
as apples!
