DELICIOUS — EASY TO GROW — DO WELL PLANTED 
IN SOD — RIGHT IN YOUR OWN YARD! 
Pears grow in any ordinary soil, even in sod, right in your yard. 
Plant 20 feet apart. Two trees, alike or different varieties, planted 
near each other so they can cross-pollenize, will both produce more 
heavily than if planted alone. To tell when Pears are ready to 
pick, place the palm of your hand under a Pear, raise it gently 
and if the stem snaps off easily from the limb, they are ready to 
pick. Then put them in a cool, dark place to ripen and you will 
have Pears of the highest quality.

THE PEAR THAT HAS NO SEEDS, NO CORE 
F 88 Cope’s New Seedless Pear—A New Fruit Sensation. A Pear 
That Has No Seeds and No Core. In addition, it has everything else 
that you could ask for in a pear; great producer, excellent quality, 
size, beauty, vigor and hardiness. The fruit is large, a beautiful 
golden-yellow with a blush. The flesh is tender and sweet, juicy and 
delicious. Fine to eat fresh and ideal for canning as it has no seeds, 
no core. 
Bears Young—A Delicious Summer Pear 
The original tree began bearing when 3 years old, and at 5 years of 
age it produced 3 bushels of perfect fruit. It ripens about 10 days 
after Bartlett and ripens evenly without any softening-at the center. 
It is a self-pollenizer but will produce more fruit if two Cope’s trees 
are planted near each other. If there are other varieties of Pears close, 
so eae cross-pollenize, then Cope’s may have a few small immature 
seeds,
