.. 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. 
. KIEFFER 
FAVORITE WINTER STORAGE PEAR

and is possibly planted in more home orchards than any other variety. One 
of the easiest Pears to grow, less subject to blight than many varieties, 
strong grower, early and prolific bearer. Golden background, with a re 
blush. Recommended not only for the home orchard, but for the local market 
and roadside stands. Ripens in late October. (Not available in the 7/16 
to 9/16 size.) For Prices See Top of Page. 
\. NEW BOSC 
THE LONG-NECK WINTER PEAR 
A popular variety, and one of the best winter varieties. Fruit of artistic iim 
long-necked shape, golden russet color, with juicy, white flesh. Can be kept i 
in storage for use during the holidays. Trees are rather small-growing, but § 
heavy yielders. 3 to 4 foot trees, $1.00 each; 3 for $2.70; 10 for $8.00. 
NEW _SEEDLESS PEAR 
THE PEAR WITHOUT A CORE OR SEEDS 
The Pear without a fault! No seeds, no core, no waste! Solid fruit all the 
way through. Resembles Bartlett in appearance, but ripens 10 days later, 
producing its crop at a time when the market is not “glutted”, thereby bring- 
ing highest prices. Thrifty grower, heavy bearer, blight resistant, grows on 
any soil. Best all-’round Pear for commercial or home use. For Prices See 
Top of Page.
