Seedling Pears 
The pear is a fruit that has been very long under cultiva- 
tion, and it has developed certain familiar and very individual 
characteristics. A comparatively few types have become popular and 
are raised everywhere. But nothing more is necessary than 
to plant the seeds, to secure seedlings showing the 
greatest variety as to their fruit. Two aber- 
rant types are here shown, and nu- 
merous others are shown in 
succeeding pictures.
