  The 
  Pear 
  is 
  the 
  most 
  delicious 
  of 
  modern 
  fruits 
  on 
  

   account 
  of 
  its 
  fine, 
  juicy 
  texture, 
  exquisite 
  flavor 
  and 
  

   aroma. 
  While 
  some 
  varieties 
  do 
  better 
  if 
  picked 
  when 
  

   partially 
  ripe 
  and 
  finished 
  indoors, 
  yet 
  the 
  really 
  en- 
  

   joyable 
  supply 
  should 
  come 
  from 
  the 
  home 
  orchard, 
  

   planting 
  a 
  number 
  of 
  varieties 
  that 
  will 
  ripen 
  in 
  suc- 
  

   cesion, 
  from 
  fall 
  to 
  winter. 
  Some 
  points 
  in 
  favor 
  of 
  

   pears 
  are: 
  They 
  begin 
  bearing 
  in 
  a 
  very 
  few 
  years 
  

   after 
  planting; 
  seldom 
  miss 
  bearing 
  at 
  least 
  a 
  partial 
  

   crop, 
  for 
  which 
  there 
  is 
  a 
  ready 
  sale; 
  besides, 
  they 
  are 
  

   one 
  of 
  the 
  most 
  healthful 
  of 
  our 
  fruits. 
  

  

  The 
  soil 
  most 
  congenial 
  to 
  this 
  fruit 
  is 
  a 
  strong 
  clay 
  

   loam, 
  but 
  it 
  will 
  succeed 
  in 
  any 
  good 
  soil, 
  providing 
  it 
  

   is 
  moderately 
  rich 
  and 
  dry. 
  The 
  usual 
  distance 
  for 
  

   planting 
  is 
  about 
  25 
  feet 
  each 
  way, 
  but 
  if 
  the 
  soil 
  is 
  not 
  

   very 
  strong, 
  20 
  feet 
  is 
  sufficient. 
  All 
  our 
  standard 
  

   pears 
  are 
  propagated 
  on 
  imported 
  Japanese 
  biight- 
  

   resistant 
  stock, 
  which 
  insures 
  a 
  strong, 
  hardy-growing 
  

   tree. 
  Do 
  not 
  fertilize 
  pear 
  trees 
  very 
  much, 
  as 
  it 
  en- 
  

   courages 
  blight.

  DWARF 
  PEARS 
  

  

  The 
  cultivation 
  of 
  Dwarf 
  Pears 
  is 
  very 
  profitable. 
  The 
  trees 
  are 
  low-headed 
  and 
  the 
  fruit 
  is 
  easily 
  handled 
  

   and 
  comes 
  into 
  bearing 
  usually 
  the 
  second 
  or 
  third 
  year. 
  We 
  recommend 
  the 
  following 
  varieties 
  to 
  be 
  good 
  

   growers 
  and 
  bearers 
  and 
  to 
  give 
  the 
  best 
  satisfaction

   Dear 
  Sirs: 
  

  

  You 
  surely 
  sent 
  me 
  the 
  finest 
  lot 
  of 
  trees 
  a 
  grower 
  could 
  wish. 
  I 
  have 
  seen 
  a 
  lot 
  of 
  trees 
  in 
  the 
  last 
  ten 
  

   years 
  from 
  many 
  of 
  the 
  largest 
  nurseries, 
  but 
  yours 
  are 
  way 
  ahead 
  of 
  any 
  stock 
  I 
  have 
  seen. 
  We 
  gave 
  them 
  

   the 
  best 
  of 
  care 
  and 
  we 
  are 
  now 
  planting 
  as 
  fast 
  as 
  we 
  can. 
  Many 
  thanks 
  for 
  extra 
  trees. 
  

  

  Sincerely,
