PINEAPPLE PEAR BEING
GROWN SUCCESSFULLY
The following item regarding the
growing of Pineapple Pears will be
read with interest by those who plan
to engrge in the culture of this fruit.
This variety of pear is said to ne
immune to blight and has proven a
wonderful success:
There is a Pear which is being
grown in and around Ludowici, Geor
gia, which has a great future. This
ib the Pineapple Pear, so-called, be
cause when ripe it has a very distinc.
tive Pineapple odor. It’s chief claim
being that it is absolutely blight-
proof. The fruit is very attractive
being a creamy yellow, with con
spicuous small brown specks. It is
a tpiendid eating pear out of hand,
and the canneries say that it cannot
be beat for a canning Pear.
The original parent trees of this
variety, (three in number) are now
more than forty years old, and have
stood for all these years in less than
one hundred feet of several old
Keiffer and LeConte trees, and while
the latter two varieties have had fire
blight for years and years, the three
old Pineapple trees are to-day in a
i&u.'hhmg condition, bearing heavy
crops of fruit every year, and have
never shown the least indication of
blight. |
There are other small orchards of
the Pineapple Pear near Ludowici
growing in close proximity to KeiiTers
and other kinds, all of the latter
varieties badly blighted, but si >i one
single Pineapple tree has ever shown
a speck of blight, notwithstanding
the fact that no preventive measures
have ever been used, such as sp aying
and etc., while in order 10 give them
a severe test The Altamaha Nurseries
of Ludowici, Ga., who arc propagat
ing this Pineapple Pear, have budded
and grafted blightwood from other
varities into the Pineapple trees while

BIG CIRCUS COMING
WEDNESDAY OCT. 25
The Hagenbeck-Wallace Cir
cus to Visit Thomasville on
That Date and Will Give
Street Parade.
Trained wild animals is a pro
minent feature of the majestic Hag-
enbeck-Wallace Circus which will ex
hlbit here Wednesday Oct. 25th, and
It is reported that thousands of dol
lars hare been spent in completing
new acts and presenting to the public
astounding -tricks perfected by the
best of trainers .
It is said that a large staff la con
tinually employed in South Africa to
capture lions for this circus. The
meaning of captivity Is given the
beasts in their native country. They
are then brought to the United States
"here It takes years In training
these animals to perform feats. Great
di fleulty is experienced in capturing
lions, the management says. One of
the handicaps is when a lion is cap
tured, It is necessary that Its mate
be also taken. .Mating seems to be
done for life in the jungle, so when
captured, if tile lioness is not also
taken, ii is extremely hard In train
the lion.
Kvery wild animal Is sought In like
maimer, with the result that the
menagerie, which Is declared lo ibe
one of the most complete In the world,
attracts thousands in every city,
liesides being interesting, it affords
an educalional opportunity.

cultures, but the Pineapple tree* j J^-wlts,
came through unscathed. Mr. W. V.
Reed, State Entomologist says the
Pineapple Pear is blight proof with
out a doubt. Prof. H. P. Stuckey,
Director of the State Experiment
Station, also says it is immune to
blight. The young trees grow very
fast and are unusually prolific, com
ing into bearing, when well cared for
at three years age.
A single tree near Ludowici, last
season produced sixty six measured
bushels. It blooms about three weeks
ahead of most commercial varieties,
and fruit commences to ripen in July.
It is an extremely fine shipper, keep
ing perfect condition for a long
time after being gathered from the
trees. Several authorities have stated
that within the next ten years the
Pineapple Pear industry will bring
more money into Georgia than the
Peach crop now yields. The Altamaha
Nurseries at Ludowici say that about
all of their nursery stock of this Pear
for this season has been sold, and
that they are booking some large
contracts to be grown the coming
season to be delivered Winter 1923-
