Are you thirsty for a PEAR? 
Delicious, Juicy, Tree-Ripened 
PEARS can be yours! 
Many folks still do not believe that they can grow Pears in the North. How- 
ever, we do have hardy Pears that you can grow very easily. Because Pears 
have an upright habit of growth, they don’t take up much room and will do 
well even in a lawn. Very ornamental, too, as the pure white blooms are out 
before Apples or Flowering Crabs and add an early gay note to your yard! 
Plant two kinds for cross pollinating and you'll have loads of fruit. 
\PATTEN 
A large, sweet, juicy Pear that will amaze you with its delightful flavor. We 
recommend it for Southern Minnesota and areas of like or milder tempera- 
tures. 
\BANTAM **&* 
A Minnesota-developed variety with fruit the size of Seckel, excellent for 
eating or canning. The tree is a heavy, annual cropper. Hardy as a Duchess 
Apple tree and can be grown wherever Duchess can be grown.

~\ FREDONIA. Fruit is equal to or better than Concord, and ripens three 
weeks earlier, thus better for northern gardens. Requires winter protec- 
tion in Minnesota. 
“SPORTLAND. A large white Grape of good quality. Requires winter pro- 
tection in Minnesota.

VAN BUREN. Newest and best of the sweet blue Grapes—and earliest 
to ripen. We have had reports that Van Buren is as hardy as Beta, but 
until more evidence is in from a wider area, we are still recommending 
winter cover in Minnesota. However, it appears that Van Buren is the 
hardiest of the sweet blue Grapes now commonly grown—and its qual- 
ity is excellent, better than either Concord or Fredonia.
