Are you thirsty for a PEAR? 
Delicious, Juicy, Tree - Ripened 
PEARS can be yours! 
Many folks still do not believe that they can grow pears in the North. How- 
ever, we do have hardy pears that you can grow very easily. Because pears 
have an upright habit of growth, they don’t take up much room and will do 
well even in a lawn. Very ornamental, too, as the pure white blooms are out 
before apples or Flowering Crabs and add an early gay note to your yard! 
Plant two kinds for cross pollinating and you'll have loads of fruit. 
. PATTEN 
A large, sweet, juicy pear that will amaze you with its delightful flavor. We 
recommend it for Southern Minnesota and areas of like or milder temper- 
atures. 
\BANTAM *** 
A Minnesota-developed variety with fruit the size of Seckel, excellent for 
eating or canning. The tree is a heavy, annual cropper. Hardy as a Duchess 
apple tree and can be grown wherever Duchess can be grown.

“PARKER kx . 
Parker is most dependable in South- ~ 
ern Minnesota and similar regions. 
We suggest trying it in favorable locations farther North, too. The 
fruit is medium large, fine grained and of excellent quality. We prefer 
Parker to Bartlett. Ripens in early September. Get some out this 
spring. When you start picking your own pears, you'll be glad you did. 
GRAPES 
What could be nicer than a big bunch 
of sweet, vine-ripened grapes from 
your own back yard? Grapes are easy 
to care for. Plant some along the 
back fence, or let them climb up a 
trellis but don’t put off having your 
own. Plant some this spring. 
BETA. A tame grape with the extra 
flavor and hardiness of wild grapes. 
Excellent for juice and jelly. Needs
