\ BARTLETT 
THE BEST SUMMER PEAR 
There’s hardly a person that doesn’t know the Bartlett Pear and its qualities, as it is grown in, 
and is adaptable to all different climates, soils and situations. Fruit is large, golden yellow in 
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 commercial Pear—a 
leader among canning Pears. Fruit ripens early September. Prices above.
