6205 — Seckel - Sugar Pear 
Fruit small, rust colored, unusually sweet and

a Seckel pear. Tree grows slow, but produces 
its grand fruit in large quantities. Hardy most 
anywhere. 
' A good blight resist- 
6202—-Douglas ant pear. Wherever 
Pears have been known to suffer under blight, 
we recommend Douglas, which is almost com- 
pletely blight-proof. The pear is large, very 
pretty in its color of golden yellow with a rosy 
blush. It is well flavored, for canning or fresh 
fruit. This tree is a splendid grower, extra 
hardy, and is a heavy producer. In most cases, 
the top-size we are offering, will start to bear 
a year after planting. Douglas should be in- 
cluded in every planting. Ripens in mid-Sep- 
tember. 
This is a Northern Pear, 
6209—Parker having been originated 
by the Minnesota State Fruit farm. A medium 
size pear, very fine grained, sweet and juicy, 
ripens in September, and makes an excellent 
fresh fruit as well as a canning pear. It has 
been tested for a number of years, and found 
to be a dependable Pear under practically any 
conditions.

to large 
size, yellow with light red blush, flesh juicy 
and sweet. The first pear to ripen, and a na- 
tional favorite for all purposes. Except in the 
extreme northern districts, it will succeed any- 
where, making a young and good producer. 
*6203—Kieftfer - . . for canning 
Medium to large pear, of fair quality, largely 
used for canning. Kieffer is hardier and more 
disease and blight-resistant than any other 
pear. Will grow and produce well where better 
pears may not be satisfactory. 
Planting Instructions 
Pears should be spaced at least 30 feet apart, 
and due to their tall upright growth, often fit 
in well as shade trees on large lawns or back 
yards. Planting should be done as stated for 
apples on page 7, and the spraying schedule 
for apples is the same for pears, see page 8. 
Pears succeed in poor soil, in fact the trees 
growing slower, due to poor ground, will begin 
to bear younger than the rapid-growing trees 
on rich ground, and will be less susceptible to 
blight. Where attacks of pear blight are 
noticed, the infected branches should be re- 
moved immediately and should be burned. Pre- 
ventive spray consists of Bordeaux Mixture or 
Pestroy. Blight is usually due to a combination 
of Red Cedar Rust and very wet weather.
