Select Lists. 



In the following lists selections of Pears have 

 been made for various purposes, to guide those 

 who wish to grow useful varieties. It is im- 

 possible to make a selection that would be 

 equally good in all districts and soils — experi- 

 ence with this fruit is more varied than with 

 any other — but an effort has been made to in- 

 clude only those that are satisfactory under the 

 greatest range of conditions. 



Sixty Useful Pears. 



(The varieties are arranged in dozens, which are placed approxi- 

 mately in the order of merit as regards quality and general 

 experience of their reliability, but each dozen constitutes a 

 selection in itself and adapted for different requirements.)
