DELICIOUS — EASY TO GROW = DO WELL PLANTED 
IN SOD — RIGHT IN YOUR OWN YARD! 

Pears grow in any ordinary soil, even in sod, right in your yard. 
Plant 20 feet apart. Two trees, alike or different varieties, planted 
near each other so they can cross-pollenize, will both produce more 
heavily than if planted alone. To tell when Pears are ready to 
pick, place the palm of your hand under a Pear, raise it gently 
and if the stem snaps off easily from the limb, they are ready to 
pick. Then put them in a cool, dark place to ripen and you will 
have Pears of the highest quality. - 
We can also furnish BALDWIN, RICHARD PETERS, SURE- 
CROP Pear Varieties. These are especially adapted to the south. 
Same prices as others. At our new lower prices every home can 
now grow their own pears. 
F90 Bartlett—Our most popular summer Pear. Fruit is large, yel- 
low with blush, juicy, sweet, high quality. 
F93 Bierschmidt—A new summer Pear ripening a few days after - 
Bartlett. Originating in Northern Iowa, it is hardier than Bartlett. 
Good bearer. Highest quality. Blight resistant. 
F 96 Seckel—Called the Sugar Pear because of its sweet, delicious 
flavor. Fruit is not large but the highest quality. Ripens in late sum- 
mer. Bears young and heavily. Blight resistant. 
F 92 Kieffer—The most widely planted winter Pear. A healthy, 
hardy and vigorous grower which bears young, heavily and regu- 
larly. The fruit is large and fills countless jars every season. Pick 
the fruit when it starts to color and let it ripen in a cool, dark place. 
Then it is delicious. Blight resistant. 
F95 Patten— Originating in Iowa, this is a very hardy Pear which 
can be planted in cold sections like northern Iowa, Minnesota, etc. 
Ripens in August. The fruit is large, yellow with blush, juicy, sweet, 
luscious flavor. Good bearer. Very blight resistant. 
F 91 Douglas—A fall pear that bears very young and regularly. Blight 
resistant. Poor quality. 
F 97 Waite—Originated by the United States Department of Agri- 
culture. We think this winter pear will replace Kieffer in time be- 
cause of its finer quality. A good eating Pear, heavy bearer, blight 
resistant, hardy, fine for canning.

F 88 Cope’s New Seedless Pear—A New Fruit Sensation. A Pear 
That Has No Seeds and No Core. In addition, it has everything else 
that you could ask for in a pear; great producer, excellent quality, 
size, beauty, vigor and hardiness. The fruit is large, a beautiful 
golden-yellow with a blush. The flesh is tender and sweet, juicy and 
delicious. Fine to eat fresh and ideal for canning as it has no seeds, 
no core. 
Bears Young—A Delicious Summer Pear 
The original tree began bearing when 3 years old, and at 5 years of 
age it produced 3 bushels of perfect fruit. It ripens about 10 days 
after Bartlett and ripens evenly without any softening at the center. 
It is a self-pollenizer but will produce more fruit if two Cope’s trees 
are planted near each other. If there are other varieties of Pears close, 
so they cross-pollenize, then Cope’s may have a few small immature 
seeds.
