\ NEW ORIENT BLIGHT-RESISTANT PEAR 
Crossing Chinese and European strains produces a blight-resistant Pear of good 
quality, adapted to areas where blight makes others impossible. Large, vigorous trees 
bearing enormous crops. Round, yellowish background with red blush. Juicy, melting, 
mild, sub-acid flavor. Creamy white flesh. Excellent for canning. Late August. If trou- 
bled with Pear blight, we recommend New Orient. 
We quote the following from the Progressive Farmer. ‘’The Orient Pear seems to be 
one of the very few almost entirely immune to blight. Its fruit—fresh or canned—is 
excellent. As it does not pollinate itself very well, plant one Kieffer for each four to six 
Orients.”’

The Pears we offer have been thoroughly tested and found to be 
adapted to the areas we serve. Selected to furnish fresh fruit from July 
: to January. 
Unfortunately, blight has prevented more extensive Pear culture. 
2 This is now being overcome with New Blight-resistant Orient.
