GATHERING Prars.—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 FRu1tT.—When Pear trees are heavily laden with fruit, they should be 
thinned when about one-third grown; else the fruit will be poor and the trees. 
injured.
