The AVaite Pear, and A Real Winner for the Central Southern Sections. WAITE PEAR A NEW PEAR WITH COMMERCIAl, POSSIBILITIES 10 Times More Blight Resistant Than Keiffer. Bartlett Shape and Size. Fine Quality, Almost Seedless. The fruit resembles that of Bartlett and is about same size, ripening after Bartlett and just before Keiffer. The flesh is smooth in texture and almost free of grit cells. It is more acid than Bartlett but is excellent for cook- ing and canning and fairly good for dessert purposes. The tree is rather slender, willowly grower and of moderate vigor. The Waite Pear requires cross pollination for con- sistent crops. The fruits are very attractive, having good finish, slight blush. Nearly all fruits observed were almost seedless, showing extremely small core. OVTD '^^^ fruit is large and resembles Bartlett. The Vi^ V XL/ flesh is fine grained, tender, nearly white, very sweet and good in quality. The tree is a strong grower and definitely blight resistant.

Blight resistant and a general favorite in every home planting. eupT TJOM '^^^ ^^^^ ^^ large, vigorous, upright, \^L\ spreading, hardy and productive. The fruit while not large is suflicient in size to meet the de- mand for a good dessert fruit and no rival in season
