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-pollinize, 
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 ina 
cool, dark place to ripen and you will have Pears of the 
highest quality. 
F 90 Bartlett—Our most popular summer Pear. 
yellow with blush, juicy, sweet, high quality. 
Fruit is large, 
F 93 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 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.

F 95 Patten—Originating in Iowa, this is a very hardy Pear 
which can be planted in cold sections like northern Iowa, Minne- 
sota etc. Ripensin August. The fruit is large, yellow with blush, 
juicy, sweet, luscious flavor. Good bearer. Very blight resistant. 
F $1 Douglas—A fall pear that bears very young and regularly. 
Blight resistant. Poor quality. 
F 96 Seckel—Called the Sugar Pear because of its sweet, delicious 
flavor. Fruit is not large but the highest quality. Ripens in late 
summer. Bears young and heavily. Blight resistant. 
F 97 Waite—Originated by the United States Department of 
Agriculture. We think this winter pear will replace Kieffer in 
time because of its finer quality. A good eating Pear, heavy 
bearer, blight resistant, hardy, fine for canning.

THE PEAR 
THAT HAS NO SEEDS, NO CORE 
F 88 Cope’s New Seedless Pear—A New Fruit Sensation. A Pear 
That Has No Seeds and No Core. In addition, it has every- 
thing else that you could ask for in a pear; great producer, ex- 
cellent 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 
The original tree began bearing when 3 years old, and at 5 years of 
age it produced 3 bushels of perfect fruit. The trees in the nursery 
rows sometimes bear fruit. 
A Delicious Summer Pear 
It ripens about 10 days after Bartlett and ripens evenly without 
any softening at the center. It isa 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.
