freezes, they bear full crops year after year. Justly the leading commercial 
bona leader among canning Pears. Fruit ripens early September. Prices 
above. »

long-necked shape, golden russet color, with juicy, white flesh. Can be kept 
in storage for use during the holidays. Trees are rather small-growing, but 
heavy yielders. For Prices See Top of Page. 
¥ 
NEW SEEDLESS PEAR 
The Pear without a fault! No seeds, no core, no 
waste! Solid fruit all the way through. Resembles 
Bartlett in appearance, but ripens 10 days later, pro- 
ducing its crop at a time when the market is not 
“slutted”, thereby bringing highest prices. Thrifty 
grower, heavy bearer, blight resistant, grows on any 
soil. For Prices See Top of Page. Not available in 
the 5/16 to 7/16 size.

NEW COVERT PEAR 
THE NEW LATE IMPROVED BARTLETT 
Covert is one of the largest of all cultivated pears. 
It resembles Bartlett in shape with the same roughened 
surface and has about the same green color which mel- 
lows into a clear Bartlett yellow when fully mature. 
The fruit is two months later than Bartlett, very firm, 
and handles unusually well. Canning tests indicate that 
the canned product is equal to Bartlett and much better 
than Kieffer. The tree is a cropper. Covert bids fair to 
replace Kieffer for canning and for export. Strong 4 
to 5 foot trees $2.15 each. Heavy 5 to 6 foot trees $2.65 
each. Jumbo trees $3.15 each. 
NEW WILLARD PEAR 
The Willard Pear ripens the latter part of November 
and resembles Bartlett in shape, and with a dull green- 
ish color. Its flesh is yellowish, fine-grained, tender 
juicy, with a piquant flavor. Strong 4 to 5 foot trees 
$2.15 each. Heavy 5 to 6 foot trees $2.65 each.
