LIST OF STANDARD VARIETIES

standard variety, and one of the finest dessert 
and eating pears. Deep golden yellow with a 
red cheek. 
7  CLAPP’S FAVORITE—Trees are hardy 
and do well everywhere. Pear has a long neck, 
yellow spotted and dull red. Fine grained, very 
sweet and highly flavored, yielding heavy regu- 
larly. 
“  KIEFFER—Hardiest, best keeping, most 
blight resistant of all pears. Large yellow pear 
of fine quality; the crisp flesh has a delicious 
musky aroma which makes it a favorite for 
canning. 
SECKEL—Rich, spicy, tender little sugar 
pear. Russet yellow with firm flesh. Hardy 
and blight resistant trees, vigorous and bears 
very late. 
WORDEN SECKEL—It is a very large 
type of the old-fashioned seckel, ripening in 
October. 
WAITE PEAR—It is about the same size 
as Bartlett, ripening before the Kieffer. The 
flesh is very smooth and has a tartish flavor. 
It is an excellent pear for canning. The tree 
is very blight resistant, but does require cross 
pollination.
