 given in the preceding, and in the following tables are the times when 

 the trees are in full bloom, that is, when practically every flower was in

It will be stfii from the abo\c list that tht- various pear varieties are 

 fairly regular and consistent in iheir bloom periods. The tables show 

 that the year 1908 may l>e taki'ii as an average season; while in igo; 

 the trees l)lossomed late, and in 1910 they flowered early. This is th< 

 general rule; but a glance at the list shows a few variations, and thr 

 list of the whole varieties shows the same. This list must not be taken 

 to be thoroughlv suitable for the whole State, as 'h.inge of latitude may 

 <iiaM':e die re-ruhir tini<' of floweiiiitx of auv \.irietv.
