Pears grow in any ordinary soil, even in sod, right in your yard. \F92 Kieffer—The most widely planted winter Pear. A healthy, 
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 your poorest ground because 
the less it grows, the less likely it is to blight. 
F 93 Bierschmid@t—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.

mer. Bears young and heavily. Blight resistant.

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.
