Those Wishing but a single tree, would do 

 well to have it grafted with one or all of the 

 last three named varieties ; in the latter case, 

 putting- the Vicar on the top of the tree, and 

 the others lower down. 



The Bartlett has attained a greater popu- 

 larity in the United States, than has been ac- 

 quired by any other variety of the pear. 

 This is owing to a combination of valuable 

 properties which it possesses. The hardihood 

 and early productiveness of the tree, the facili- 

 ty with which it adapts itself to different soils. 

 its fine growth and general health, etc., to- 

 gether with the large size, beautiful appear- 

 ance and good flavor of the fruit, have earned 

 it a reputation among its brethren, the right 

 to which several rivals are already beginning 

 to contest.
