Gatherlsg Pears.— One of the most important points in the management of Pears, is to gather them at the 

 pro[>er 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 poor and the trees injurei.!.
