Strong, vigorous growth, as hardy or hardier than Flemish Beauty, very productive, large size, long keeper, and carries well to market. Ex- cellent quality. Ripens a month later than Bartlett. Large and handsome, core very small, many en- tirely seedless; skin golden yellow, with russety spots; flesh white, exceedingly fine grained, very tender and buttery, with a rich subdued acid flavor. Even when dead ripe it makes no approach to in- sipidity. Sept. and Oct. Worden-Seekel. A seedling of the Seckel. Equal in quality to its famous parent which it much re- sembles in flavor, is equally as luscious, more juicy, and with an aroma equally as rich and inviting, while in size, color, form and appearance it is de- cidedly superior. Grown under like conditions, we think it will average a half larger. In color, when well ripened, it closely resembles Clapp's Favorite, but is a little brighter red on one side, and a light golden yellow on the other, sprinkled with very faint russet dots, with a skin that is usually as smooth and waxy as if it had been varnished. Tree a more upright and rapid grower than Seckel; hardy and an enormous bearer; fruit keeps well, retaining its quality to the last. We know of no other Pear which combines such high quality, rare beauty and great productiveness. 75c. Oct. WINTE
