\SSEEDLESS PEAR 
Brand new variety. Practically seedless. Solid 
all the way through. Ideal for canning. No waste. 
It is of the Bartlett type, pure white flesh with 
yellow blushed skin. Ripens 10 days later than 
Bartlett, and trees bear when three years old. A 
5-year tree known to bear 3 bushels of fruit. 
3 to 4 ft. size, $1.78 each 
POLLINATION — Two varieties are needed. 
The only combination that is cross-incompatible 
is Seckel and Bartlett. A third variety is needed 
with the above two. 
CULTURE 
Pears will grow on almost any soil but 
will do best on a high elevation, provided 
the sub-soil is not too wet. Wherever this 
is the case the ground should be thoroughly 
underdrained. In very poor soil a heavy top 
dressing of manure in the fall will be of 
advantage. Standard pear trees should be 
planted twenty feet apart each way. 
Pears are subject to fire blight, a disease con- 
trolled only by cutting back the branches beyond 
the point of injury. 
Do not allow pears to ripen on the trees. The 
highest quality results from gathering fruit ten 
days before it is ripe. Winter pears are best stored 
before the heavy frost.
