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 

 <proj)er time. 



Summer Pears should he 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 he 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 o«e-^/uV(i 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.
