Medium: very rich and juicy. A good bearer and grower. August. SECKEL. Small, but very fine flavor; is among pears what Delaware is among grapes—The standard of fine quality. The tree is a beautiful grower, though not rapid, and is very long-lived. A good Seckel tree is always prized when it comes into bearing. August. *KEIFFER. very large; skin yellow, with a bright ver- milion cheek; flesh brittle, very juicy, with a marked musky aroma; quality good. Matures from September to October. Tree very vigorous and prolific. Begins to bear when four years old. The fruit should be gathered during September in this latitude, and kept in a cool, dark room until mellow, when its quality as a table pear is greatly improved. It is of unquestioned value for canning and preserving, and is of great practical use. Price of trees, 4 to 6 feet, 30c, $ per dozen, $ per 100. LE CONTE. Fruit large, pyriform; skin smooth, pale yellow; quality very variable, usually second quality, but if allowed to mature slowly in a cool, dark room or in drawers, its quality improves remarkably. Maturity from July 20 to end of August. The tree is of remarkable vigor and growth, \vi5h dense and luxuriant foliage; hardy everywhere, but of the greatest value south. Trees begin to bear fruit when four years old, and should be planted at least 20 feet apart. On account of its productiveness and fine market qualities, the Le Conte is more extensively planted in the South than any other pear, and there is no doubt whatever that its extensive planting will prove very remunerative. Trees, 4 to 6 feet, 20c. each, $ per dozen, $ per 100. NEWER VARIETIES Op"
