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 growing enough of this 
delicious fruit for home use. The varieties we offer are those which have been thor- 
oughly 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 culture. This is now being overcome with the 
New Blight-Resistant Orient.
