HOW TO PLANT APPLE TREES 
Set apple trees 25 to 35 feet apart. In setting your apple 
trees, prune them back severely, cutting all side branches %6 
within 3 buds of main trunk and cutting off 4% of the main 
lead. Each year prune injured limbs only. Northern orchard- 
ists do better by letting their trees grow in the bush, form 
letting bottom branches grow to within 2 to 3 ft. of the 
ground. Send for free pruning bulletin. 
Be Sure You Spray—It’s Easy Now 
If in the past you have hesitated to plant apple 
trees. because it was so much bother to spray them 
—hesitate no longer! Read about Gurney’s COM- 
BINATION FRUIT SPRAY on page 26. No fuss— 
no muss—no worry about mixing a lot of different 
chemicals. USE THE ONE SPRAY ONLY.

” Hardy PEARS 
Pears grow upright, so can be planted as 
close as 14 to 16 feet apart. At 16 feet, takes 
170 trees per acre. Pear trees bear early and 
heavily, and no other fruit compares with 
them in aroma, lusciousness, or range of fla- 
vors. Plant both summer and winter pears: 
wrap the winter pears in paper for mid- 
winter feasting.

HOW TO GROW PEARS 
Plant pears 14 to 16 ft. apart. Though 
the pear succeeds best in heavy, mod- 
erately fertile soil retentive of moisture, 
no one need hesitate to plant it in any 
soil available if it is well drained. Tillage 
and fertilizing are the same as for the 
apple except that nitrogenous fertilizers 
must be used more cautiously to prevent 
lush growth. Pruning and training are 
similar to that of apple.

The Famous 
\ LINCOLN PEAR 
A1517—The most dependable pear. 
Large, good flavored. It has been produc- 
ing a heavy crop every year for 15 years 
on George Gurney’s farm. Even in a 
drouth year, 3 young trees produced 14 
bu. Ripens about September 15. In big 
demand on the market. A good commer- 
cial variety and one of the best home 
pears. ~ 
THE GIANT. BARTLETT 
The Earliest Pear of All 
A1502—The. leading commercial va- 
riety, one of the most popular for dessert 
and canning. Fanciest and finest of all 
pears. Rich golden yellow with rich pink 
blush. Good keeper and.shipper. Early. 
Pointed top and wide at base. Tree is 
vigorous, hardy and bears young. 
\ PATTEN 
A1524—This pear is healthy, hardy and 
productive. Bears a LARGE, YELLOW 
fruit with the RICHEST JUICE OF FINE 
FLAVOR. The skin is THIN, and QUAL- 
ITY EXTRA GOOD. We recommend this 
pear to both northern and southern plant- 
ers. 
BEAR EARLY 
AND HEAVILY 
\ DOUGLAS PEAR 
A1509—This is the new fall pear which 
bears almost at once after planting. Gen- 
erally loaded year after planting. Fruit 
is large, yellow, and may be allowed to 
stay on the tree until fully ripe. You 
don’t have to bother wrapping them. 
This is one of the most blight-proof of 
all the pears. 
\SECKEL (SUGAR) PEAR 
The Sweetest of All 
A1529—These are SECKEL or SUG- 
AR PEARS. As sweet a flavor as its 
name, “Sugar Pear,” suggests. Good 
right off the tree and for desserts. 
Small in size but large in quality. A 
russet coat covers greenish yellow 
skin.

The Winter Pear |

popular winter pears. Considered

resistant, it is one of the best for 
southern plantings. Pears are large

ties. Excellent flavor and ripens
