Bartlett-Seckel
PearThe compound name given to this very fine new pear is suggested by the merits of the two great standard sorts which are combined and appear in this one variety. It is, indeed, the result of a cross between these celebrated varieties and furnishes the size, buttery fine flesh, thrifty growth and great productiveness of the Bartlett, with the rich, sweet, aromatic flavor and extra fine quality of the Seckel combined in one tree. It ripens a little later than Bartlett. 1st class, ea., 50c; 3 for $1.25; doz., $4.00. 1 yr., ea., 30c; 3 for 75c; doz., $2.50.
