Blight Proof Pineapple Pears and 
the 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 
out 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. 
V ORIENT PEARS 
A variety developed for the South to 
have an eating pear of top quality, and 
was worked by the United States Depart- 
ment 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 va- 
riety to offer, and for the first time can 
offer this pear in all sizes. Order yours 
today, with your Pineapple pear trees.
