DELICIOUS — EASY TO GROW — DO WELL PLANTED 
IN SOD — RIGHT IN YOUR OWN YARD! 
Pears grow in any ordinary soil, even in sod, right in your yard. 
Plant 20 feet apart. Two trees, alike or different varieties, planted 
near each other so they can cross-pollenize, will both produce more 
heavily than if planted alone. To tell when Pears are ready to 
pick, place the palm of your hand under a Pear, raise it gently 
and if the stem snaps off easily from the limb, they are ready to 
pick. Then put them in a cool, dark place to ripen and you will 
have Pears of the highest quality. 
F 90 Bartlett— Most popular summer pear. Fruit is large, yellow with 
blush, juicy, sweet, high quality. Plant in poorest ground because the 
less it grows, the less likely it is to blight. 
“F 93 Bierschmidt— This high quality pear originated in Iowa. It is 
hardier than Bartlett and blight resistant. A heavy bearer, ripens a 
few days after Bartlett. Fruit is large, yellow with blush and very 
delicious flavor. Eat it fresh, makes wonderful sauce and preserves. 
We recommend this very highly. 
F 94 Golden Spice—This new Pear from Minnesc.a will probably 
outbear all Pears. Tree is simply loaded with the russet golden fruits. 
Small size but my how they fill the jars with delicious sauce and 
preserves. Especially fine for whole pickles. Extremely hardy, grows 
in the extreme north as well as in the central states. Ripens late 
summer. Blight resistant.

It's New ™. F 88 Cope’s New Seediless Pear—A New Fruit Sensation. A Pear 
That Has No Seeds and No Core. In addition, it has everything else 
that you could ask for in a pear; great producer, excellent quality, 
size, beauty, vigor. The fruit is large, a beautiful golden-yellow with a 
blush. The flesh is tender and sweet, juicy and delicious. Fine to eat 
fresh and ideal for canning as it has no seeds, no core. 
Bears Young—A Delicious Summer Pear 
The original tree began bearing when 3 years old, and at 5 years of 
age it produced 3 bushels of perfect fruit. It ripens about 10 days 
after Bartlett and ripens evenly without any softening at the center. 
It is a self-pollenizer but will produce more fruit if two Cope’s trees 
are planted near each other. If there are other varieties close, so they 
cross-pollenize, then Cope’s may have a few small immature seeds.
