SELECT PEARS. 



The following list includes most of those which have been well tested and prove valuable. 

 A special list of those which we find particularly well suited to the Quince stock will be found at 

 the end of the general list. 



Gathering Pears.— One of the most important points in the management of Pears, is to gather 

 them at the proper time. 



Summer Pears should be gathered at least ten days before they are ripe, and Autumn Pears at least 

 a fortnight. "Winter varieties, if they will hang so long, may be left until the leaves begin to fall. 



Thin the Fruit. — We cannot urge too strongly the following suggestion : When pear trees are 

 heavily laden, the fruit should be thinned when about one-third grown; else the fruit will be pooi" 

 and the trees injured.
