BARTLETT 
There’s hardly a person who doesn’t know the 
Bartlett Pear and its qualities, for it is grown in and 
is adaptable to all different climates, soils and 
situations. Fruit is large, golden yellow im color 
with a reddish blush on the sunny side. Flesh is 
tender and juicy, with a delicious musky aroma. 
Trees are vigorous, attain large size, bear young, 
live long, and barring frosts or freezes, they bear 
full crops year after year. Justly the leading com- 
mercial yariety—a leader among canning Pears. 
September 1 to 10. 
GARBER 
This beautifully colored and well-shaped Pear 
is suited for just about every need. It is a heavy 
producer that is a good shipper, good for wrap 
storage, eating, preserving and a money-maker on 
the commercial market. It ripens in August when 
good eating Pears are in demand.

FOR HOME AND ORCHARD 
Delicious Fresh from the Tree or Canned 
Pears in the East are planted chiefly in the family orchard or in a limited 
way for local market and roadside stand; few home owners are even grow- 
ming enough of this delicious fruit for home use. The varieties we offer have 
been thoroughly tested and found well adapted and desirable for planting 
in the territory we serve, selected to furnish fresh fruit from July to 
January. Unfortunately, blight has prevented more extensive Pear cul- 
ture. This is now being overcome with the New Blight-Resistant Orient. 
POLLINATION. Two varieties are needed. The 
only combination that is cross-incompatible is 
Seckel and Bartlett. A third variety is needed 
with the above two.

KIEFFER 
Large, well known. Somewhat coarse 
grained, but one of the best canning va- 
rieties and possibly planted in more home 
orchards than any other Pear. Easily grown, 
less subject to blight than many. A strong 
grower, early and prolific. Somewhat bell- 
shaped; golden background, with a red 
blush. Recommended not only for the 
home orchard but for the local market and 
roadside stands. Late September. 
This strain was selected for the large size 
of its fruit for this variety and its early 
bearmg quality. Vigorous, productive and 
blight resistant. Fruit highly colored, reddish 
brown, fine grained and very delicately 
flavored. No other Pear surpasses it m 
quality. September to October.

Crossing Chmese and European strains produced this blight- 
resistant variety of good quality. Large, vigorous trees bearing 
enormous crops. Fruit round, yellowish with red_ blush. 
Melting, juicy, mild, sub-acid flavor; creamy white flesh. Late 
August. Excellent for canning. Orient Pear seems to be one of 
the very few almost entirely immune to blight. Its fruit, fresh 
or canned, is excellent. Since it does not pollinate itself very 
well, plant one Kieffer for each four to stx Orients.
