GETTING COLOR INTO 

 THE PEAR 



The ordinary pear, in its better 

 varieties., is as large as can be desired, 

 and its shape is regarded by many fruit 

 growers as ideal. But hitherto the pear 

 has for the most part lacked the color 

 which gives such attractiveness to many 

 varieties of apples. Some of my work 

 has been experimenting, however, in the 

 production of pears with richly colored 

 fruits, as the example at the right 

 shows, as contrasted with the ordinary 

 one at the left.
