Two Fine Varieties Of Pear Trees 
Blight Proof Pineapple Pears: 
Orient (A New Mellow Variety) 
In recent years our pear trees have 
been sold out in mid-summer, long be- 
fore shipping season began. This year 
we have determined to have enough 
trees to meet the demand, and all efforts 
have been turned to growing more and 
finer pear trees in our nurseries. We 
believe that we have enough trees to 
take care of orders this season, if they 
are sent in early. But orders sent in 
later may be too late for filling this 
year. ORDER YOUR PEAR AND

THE FAMOUS BASS BLIGHTPROOF 
PINEAPPLE PEAR 
We first grew’Pineapple Sand Pears 
for our own use, and finding them of 
such prolific growth, such fine fruit, 
such a ready market, and such a splen- 
did profit, we began growing them for 
our own customers. 40 to 75 bushels 
per tree per year from many of the 
older trees is nothing unusual, and 
some orchards yield as many as 1000 
bushels per acre! And the tree in bloom 
Close-up of Pears 
is one of the most beautiful sights of early 
spring; see the illustration above of an 
orchard in bloom. The Bass Pineapple 
Sand Pears grow rapidly, are positively 
blightproof, and are extremely hardy. All! 
trees have a well developed root system. 
~ORIENT Pears are a variety developed 
for the South to have an eating pear of 
top quality, and was worked by the United 
States Department of Agriculture and the 
University of Tennessee into a fine type 
eating pear for Southern homes. We are 
very proud to have such fine stocks of 
this excellent variety to offer, and for the 
first time can offer this pear in all sizes.
