\ WEAVER PEAR: It is with great pleasure that we 
offer this item for the second year in our 
catalog. Several years ago we started growing 
this fine Pear and have a good gees of them 
now. This Pear probably has the strangest 
history of any fruit on the market today. Some 
aA ago a farmer in Red Oak, Texas, Mr. 
; O. Weaver, planted an Apple tree in his 
back yard. A year or two later one of his cows 
got loose and broke the tree off close to the 
ground. Mr. Weaver nursed the tree back to life 
and several years later when it began to bear, 
a rich surprise was in store for him. It wasn’t

the Apple characteristics. The tree grows like

an Apple, but the foliage and bark resemble the 
Pear, Branches very low to the ground and 
bears extremely early. We have some of these 
Pears in the field now about two or three feet 
tall with pears on them. It is also an abundant 
bearer, in addition to being a profuse and early 
bearer. The fruit is the shape of a Pear but the 
meat is more like the Apple, and the flavor is 
rich and sweet and tastes both like an Apple 
and a Pear. This novelty is well deserving of 
a spot in your orchard. PRICES ON WEAVER
