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.
