SELECT PEARS 



The following list includes most of those which have been well tested and are 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 pears trees are heavily 

 laden, the fruit should be thinned when about one-third grown; else the fruit will be poor and the trees 

 injured. 



Dwarf Pears are those which are budded on the quince stock and are particularly desirable for gardens, 

 though from our own experience we have found certain varieties grown in this way very profitable for 

 market. 



Prices of Dwarf Pears are the same as for Standard Pears, except in some cases by the hun- 

 dred as noted. 



Grade. We offer but one grade of Standard and Dwarf Pears, viz., first-class or No. 1, as follows : 

 Standard trees, about 5 to 6 feet in height; Dwarf trees, about 3 to 4 feet in height. The quantity 

 which can be supplied is indicated by the price. 



Prices — 25 trees of one variety will be furnished at the 100 rate. 5 trees of one variety will be furnished 

 at the 10 rate. 



SUMMER VARIETIES 

 Bartlett. One of the most popular pears; 



large, 



buttery, and melting, with a rich musky flavor.

 September. 50c each. 10 for $4.00. 100 for 

 $25.00. Dwarf, 100 for $15.00. 



Clapp's Favorite. Resembles the Bartlett, ripen- 

 ing a few days earlier; hardy and vigorous 

 either on the pear or quince. Care should be 

 taken to pick the fruit at least ten days before it 

 would ripen on the tree. 50c each. 10 for $4.00.
