BAKTLETT— This is the most popular summer pear, both for home use and market,

 crops of large and handsome fruit, juicy, buttery and melting, with a rich fine flaA'oi-. A 

 delicious eating pear and makes the finest of canned fruit. The Bartlett may be picked before 

 It has attained its full size, aud it will ripen and color beautifully and nuiy be of good quality ; 

 however, it should alAvays be picked before it is fully ripe.
