THE PEAR. 



The growing of this valuable fruit for both home and market purposes cannot be too strongly urged. 

 It iar exceeds the apple in its melting, juicy texture, rich refined flavor, and the range of varieties is such 

 that by a judicious selection, the ripening season beginning in July can be continued in succession into 

 winter and some sorts may be kept until March or April. Many of the varieties begin to bear in from four 

 to six years after planting, but a variety like Kieffer will produce fruit as soon as the dwarf pear, which is 

 usually two or three years after transplanting. There is an opening for the intelligent pear grower in 

 many parts of the United States. Pears can be grown nearly as cheap per barrel as apples and they 

 usually sell twice as high, although little attention has been given to pear growing, and for these reasons, 

 and others, the man who makes a special study of pear culture, and who goes into pear growing intelli- 

 gently, has an opportunity for success. 



SOII^— The pear will adapt itself to a great variety of soils, though it thrives best on rather deep 

 clay loam, still it should not be too sticky; next to this, gravelly loam is most desirable. A light sandy 

 soil is the least desirable of any, yet pears can be grown en sandy soil. 



RIPEN— In order to retain the rich and best flavor the fruit should be ripened in the house as fol- 

 lows: Gather summer peari at least ten days before they are ripe, autumn pears at least two weeks and 

 winter varieties as soon as the leaves begin to fall.
