VARIETIES TO PLANT 



As an indication of current opinion 

 on the best varieties of pears to plant 

 in the various districts, the following 

 tables are given, having been compiled 

 from reports of nurserymen throughout 

 the United States. The varieties are 

 given in the order of importance based 



on the largest number of nurserymen 

 reporting the variety amongst the best 

 sellers. 



The numbers at the head of the col- 

 umns are those of the American Pomo- 

 logical Society Districts for 1909. Dis- 

 tracts not reporting are omitted. See 

 accompanying map.
