Grown mainly as a dwarf. September. Sheldon. Medium; yellow on a greenish russet, with a richly shaded* cheek; flesh a little coarse, melting and juicy, with a brisk, vinous flavor; highly perfumed. Productive. September. P r i nce's S t. G e r m a i n. Fruit medium in size, pear-shaped, covered with brown russet, dull red next the sun; flesh yellowish white; juicy, melt- ing and sweet. Very prolific bearer. Ptipe in September. Tree fine grower. Valuable in the South. Buerre d'Anjou. Rather large; obtuse form; greenish yellow, dull red cheek; rich, melting and buttery. Succeeds best as dwarf. October. Lucy Duke. Originated in Beaufort county. N. C. "Size, large; color, golden russet: acute pyri- form shape: quaility one of the best."—Chas. Down- ing. "While it is not quite so fine as a first-class Seckel, I must aver it is not far behind."— Thos. Meehan. I claim that it is the finest large Pear in cultivation and is a seedling of the Winter Xellis, crossed with Bartlett. So far no blight has shown. Ripens in October. Lincoln Coreless. ORIENTAL VARIETIES. This class of Pears is as near blight-proof as Pears can be. Conkleton. New, from Texas. Growth and fruit similar to LeConte, hardier in tree, less sub- ject to blight: a young and prolific bearer. Pruit size of LeConte, better in quality, firmer in tex- ture, a fine shipper, an improvement over its parent, the LeConte. A valuable new, hardy Pear for the South. LeConte. Fruit large and fair quality: young and very prolific bearer: an upright, very straight grower: tree very hardy: and its beautiful fruit and foliage make it quite ornamental. Ripe in September in Xorth Carolina. Japan Golden Russet. Unusually productive, bears in clusters; commencing to fruit two years after transplanting from the nursery. Valuable for canning. Of strong, luxuriant growth, large, dark green leaves until late in the sea- son, when they become a beautiful bronze, changing to a brilliant crimson, and with branches bending under their loads of golden russet Pears it is a thing of beauty, and an ornament in any lawn or fruit garden. The fruit is of medi- um size, flat or apple shaped. Garber. Equally as hardy as the Le- Conte or Keitfer; of same class of Pears. The growth and appearance is very much like Keiffer: ripens one month sooner and of better quality. Best of this class to eat from hand. Keiffer's Hybrid. Originated near Phil- adelphia. Supposed to be a seedling of Chinese Sand Pear crossed with the Bartlett. Size large, very handsome; skin yellow, with a bright vermillion cheek'; very juicy, with a musky aroma: quality good when ripened to perfection. A very young and prolific bearer. As near blight-proof as Pear can be called. Magnolia. Origin, South Georgia; large, broad to roundish pyriform; surface smooth, yellowish russet, tinged with brown on the sunny side; dots numer- ous, irregular; flesh white, crisp, ten- der, juicy, mild sub-acid; quality good. Valuable for canning and preserving. Season, three or four weeks later than Keiffer. Very valuable on account of its lateness, coming after Keiffer is gone. A prolific bearer; a thrifty, dwarfish grower. 50c each. Oxford, Miss, Dec. 22, 1901. T can conscientiously advise anyone wanting an orchard to buv from J. Van Lindley Nursery Co., Pomona, N. C. I have bought three large bills from them and all have given perfect satisfaction. Trees bought in "95 bore this year, as fine specimens of fruit as I ever saw; every tree true to name. J. S.
