Pears 
DOUGLAS xxxx. The 
Douglas pear wil’ some- 
times bear the next year 
after being set. A medium 
sized pear, quality good and 
in some sections the only 
pear planted. Trees do not 
get extra large as they over 
bear, making them rather 
slow in gaining any size. 
A good pear to plant as 
it never blights. 
GARBER xxxx. I know 
Garber trees within a mile 
of my home that were 
planted some 40 years ago. 
They are still bearing and 
doing good. Pears large, 
rather short or _ nearly 
round, good flavor, very 
sweet and juicy. The fruit 
is a clear green until it has 
hung on the trees a good 
while then begins to yel- 
low up. Pears good to eat 
fresh. Ripe in August. 
* 
™ LINCOLN xxxx. This is one pear that in my 
x 
\ 
opinion is going to gain public favor in the 
coming years. A big green and yellow pear that 
is ripening now in August and today one of my 
men brought in as fine a bushel of Lincoln pears 
as I have ever seen, Good for eating fresh off of 
the tree. Heavy bearing, trees healthy late bloom- 
ing. Don’t neglect to plant a Lincoln pear for 
fresh pears in the summer time. Extra fine to can. 
LE CONTE OR BELL PEAR, Sixty years ago my 
father planted a bell pear tree. A few years later 
they changed the name to Le Conte though Bell 
would have suited it better for they are bell 
shaped and perfect. They are beautiful fruits and 
when ripe are very excellent, they can as good as 
Bartlett. The trees are vigorous growers and in all 
the 60 years since my father planted the tree | 
have never seen one have a particle of blight. 
Ripens in August. 
RICHARD PETERS PEAR. A new pear brought out 
by the Arkansas Experiment Station and proving 
to be a good one, 
ORIENT. This is the third year I have grown the 
Orient pear but it is showing up extremely well. 
The trees are very similar to the Keiffer, vigorous 
growing and beautiful. The pears are large and 
get extremely yellow when ripe. This pear is out- 
standing at all experiment stations at this time. 
Blight proof so far I can make these trees at same 
price as others as they have proved to be so easily 
grown. 
~“ KEIFFER 
xxxx. For commercial planting the Keiffer has 
no comparison. Trees bear young, bear heavy 
crops, fruit large if trees are properly, taken 
care of. Good to haul any distance and if stored 
and ripened out they have no equal for eating 
fresh. Will hang on the trees for weeks so you 
do not have to rush with your gathering. Also 
ripens at a time when little fruit is on the 
market, For profit plant Keiffer.
