This old standard fruit is still being planted by many. Blight is its chief enemy, and 
as it is worse on deep, rich soil, do not over-stimulate by feeding. Planted in the back 
lawn it will make a beautiful tree in foliage, blossom and fruit. 
BARTLETT. August 15. The favorite eating Pear of America, East or West. Large, beau- 
tiful yellow with soft blush; high flavcr. Tree bears quite young. On account of its 
popularity everywhere it is the most sought after of the European Pears. 
KIEFFER. September 10 to 15. The most popular Pear for our section. Fruit is large, 
golden yellow, sometimes tinted red on the sun-exposed side. Flesh is firm, crisp, juicy 
and for canriing purposes it is especially prized. From the tree it is not good to eat, 
and to properly ripen, gather carefully and place in dry place of even temperature. 
The quality improves and it is then desirable. Fer keeping longer, pack in shallow 
trays or wrap the fruit in paper and store in a room free from frost. In this manner 
it can be kept until Christmas. 
LINCOLN. Blight-resistant and bears regular crops. Perfectly hardy and quality almost 
equals Bartlett. Season of ripening about September Ist. Plant with confidence. Con- 
sidered by many the best of the Pears. 
SECKEL. September 15. This small, high quality, yellowish brown Pear is one of the most 
posular of the Sentember fruits. Of melting, juicy, and sugary quality (frequently called 
the ‘Little Sugar Pear’’). Tree is of slow growth but lives long and is needed in every 
home garden.

Plums 
They grow almost anywhere—garden, chicken-run, or orchard. 
trees are loaded with fruit, so it is wise to thin when too thick. 
BURBANK. Late July. Fruit large, vio- - GREEN GAGE. Another outstanding old 
Usually the 

let to tight purple, with occasional 
shades of yellow. Flesh yellow, of 
excellent quality. For either canning 
Or market this is the most popular 
kind. We believe it to be the hardi- 
est and most prolific of the Oriental 
varieties. 
DAMSON. A medium size, purple or 
blue Plum which is well known for its 
fine culinary uses. Damson preserve 
is the height of epicurean delight. 
It bears heavily and should be in 
every planting where Plums are 
wanted.

variety. It ripens in mid-August and 
its medium sized, yellow-green, high 
Guality fruit makes it a standard by 
which others are judged. Tree mod- 
erate grower; healthy. 
(Hybrid.) A promising kind, 
vigorous in growth and free from 
disease. Being an American-Japanese 
hybrid, it inherits hardiness and pro- 
ductiveness from each parent. Pro- 
duces great crops of coral fruit, yel- 
low fleshed and of good quality. 
STANLEY PRUNE. A large, sweet, pur- 
ple Plum with much merit. Intro- 
duced by the New York Experiment 
Station. Annual bearer, good for 
home or commercial purposes and the 
best of the ‘‘Prune’’ class.
