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 tempera- 
tures. 
\ 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 *k** 
Parker is most dependable in Southern 
PEAR PRICES Minnesota and similar regions. We 
We Pay the Postage suggest trying it in favorable locations 
9 for ther North, too. The fruit is medium large, 
$4.75 fine grained and of excellent quality. We 
Aas prefer Parker to Bartlett. Ripens in early Septem- 
3.55 ber. Get some out this spring. When you start 
picking your own pears, you'll be glad you did.

“\CONCORD. Bears large bunches of sweet, juicy, blue-black grapes every 
year. Needs winter cover in Minnesota. See Fredonia. 
FREDONIA. Fruit is equal to or better than Concord, and ripens three 
weeks earlier, thus better for Northern gardens. Requires winter pro- 
tection 1n Minnesota. 
* PORTLAND. A large white grape of good quality. Requires winter 
protection in Minnesota. 
~ VAN BUREN. Newest and best of the blue grapes—and earliest to 
ripen. We have had reports that Van Buren is as hardy as Beta, but 
until more evidence is in from a wider area, we are still recommend- 
ing winter cover in Minnesota. However, it appears that Van Buren 
is the hardiest of the sweet blue grapes now commonly grown—and 
its quality is excellent, better than either Concord or Fredonia.
