Most of the ordinary Pears bake well before they are fully ripe ; a dish of stewed Pears is wholesome 

 and always appreciated. In » cold season, when some good kinds do not ripen, they become useful for 

 stewing or baking, but many can be forwarded (mellowed) by placing them in boxes upon the hot water 

 pipes of the Greenhouses. 



Exhibitors should consult the R.H.S. List, on page 58.
