THE PEAR 
The pear succeeds all over the best ap- 
ple districts of Ontario, but few good 
hardy varieties have yet been found, 
hence the commercial culture of the pear 
does not extend as far north as the apple. 
The principal pear orchards are found in 
Southern Ontario. There are many good 
orchards, however, along Lake Ontario 
as far east as the Bay of Quinte and north 
to the Georgian Bay.

succeed, and these are not planted on a 
commercial scale. These hardy varieties 
are grown to a limited extent for home 
use as far north as latitude 45 degrees 
and some of the Russian pears, though 
inferior in quality and very subject to 
blight, may be grown still further north. 
The pear stands distant shipment well 
if picked at the right time, and properly
