PEARS 
The pear thrives over a wide range of soils and climatic condi- 
tions. The roots withstand heavy, wet soils better than most other 
fruits. Unlike other fruits, the pear develops better quality wher 
ripened off the tree, and should be picked before it begins to soften, 
Plant trees from 20 to 25 feet apart. 
SUMMER PEARS 
Bartlett. Large size, golden yellow when ripe, with beautiful blush 
on sunny side. Buttery, very juicy and highly flavored. Tree 
strong grower and bears early and abundantly. The most popular. 
Ripens late August, early September. 
Clapp’s Favorite. A large, fine pear, resembling the Bartlett, but 
without its musky flavor. Fine texture, without graininess. Pale 
lemon yellow with slight blush. Tree hardy and productive. 
NEW! 
Max-Red Bartlett. A sport from the old favorite, but with a 
highly colored red skin. Ripens same time as regular Bart- 
lett. Juicy and sweet, excellent flavor. See page 28.

russet color. Flesh fine-grained and very flavorful. Good keeper. 
. Comice. A splendid commercial variety, of fine size, good appear- 
ance, with faint reddish blush on sunny side. Very juicy, sweet

pears known, fine for pickling or preserving. Ripens late Sep- 
tember, early October. 
WINTER VARIETIES

The quince is attracting a good deal of attention as a market 
fruit. The tree is hardy and compact in growth, requires little space. 
Very productive, large crops, and comes into bearing early. Self- 
pollenizing. The fruit is much sought for canning, jellies and pre-

slow-growing habit of the tree makes it an excellent lawn tree.

recommend this variety for Western Washington.
