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! 
\

highly colored red skin. Ripbzns same time as regular Bart- 
lett. Juicy and sweet, excellent flavor.

AUTUMN PEARS 
“Bose (Buerre Bosc—Fall Russet). One of the best fall pears. Splen- 
did shipping and commercial variety. Long, slender shape, solid 
russet color. Flesh fine-grained and very flavorful. Good keeper. 
“*Comice. A splendid commercial variety, of fine size, good appzar- 
ance, with faint reddish blush on sunny side. Very juicy, sweet 
and aromatic. This variety should be more widely known and 
planted. 
~\Seckel. Small, rich, yellowish brown. One of the best flavored 
pears known, fine for pickling or preserving. Ripens late Sep- 
tember, early October. 
WINTER VARIETIES

winter pear it offers a full choice of fresh fruit in season.

QUINCES 
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- 
serves. Imparts a delicious flavor to other fruits when used in pro- 
portion of one part quince to four parts other fruits. The dwarf, 
slow-growing habit of the tree makes it an excellent lawn tree. 
™ Pineapple. One of the best for home use. Fruit large, highly fla- 
vored. Greenish yellow to deep yellow in color. We especially 
recommend this variety for Western Washington. 
DWARF FRUIT TREES 
PRICES: 1 yr light, each $2.50; 2 yr. light, each $3.25; 2 yr. heavy,

When fully grown the maximum height of the dwarf tree is not 
over 10 to 12 feet, and by proper pruning they can be kept even 
lower. This makes it easy to spray and care for them, and simplifies 
picking of the fruit. 
Every garden, large or small, has space for one or more of these 
heavy-producing dwarf trees. A practical novelty. Ornamental 
and productive. 
All varieties are identical in characteristics to standard sorts.
