54S HOW TO MAKE THE FARM PAY. 



dew is on, nor in a wet or cloudy day. When it is necessary to 

 pick it in sucli weather, it should be exposed to light and air 

 until completely ,dry. Pears picked in the middle of a sunny 

 day are superior in flavor and keep better. Early gathering 

 ai>plies only to the summer and autumn varieties ; late keeping 

 winter kinds should be allowed to hang as long as the frosts 

 will permit. A dry, cool room should be used for the storage 

 and ripening of fruits, and there should be nothing in the room 

 from which the fruit can absorb flavor. The two beautiful spe- 

 cimens in our colored plate are the Bartlett and Louise Bonne de 

 Jersey. 



The following table gives the varieties of the pear best 

 adapted to the different sections of the country. The abbre- 

 viations are the same as in the table for apples, page 541, with 

 the addition of Q, which denotes those proved to be most valu- 

 able on quince stocks, and therefore adapted to the home 

 garden.
