An orchard of Bartlett Pears is a source of abundant income. The trees are sturdy, 

 and bear heavy loads of delicious fruit which is easily sold

 FOR MARKET, THE BEST 



Summer. A golden-colored Pear, with a red cheek on most 

 specimens. Bartlett mellows and is excellent for eating very 

 early in the fall, yet when picked a week before it is ripe, and 

 properly stored, will keep till late. Flavor delicious and musky; 

 flesh buttery, rich and juicy. One of the finest 

 Pears that grows to eat raw. . A mingling of the 



flavor of Bartlett Pear and quince gives about 

 the finest taste of any food this world's folks 

 have. Bartlett trees bear early, produce 

 enormous crops, and are not nearly so subject 

 to damage by insects and disease as some other 

 sorts. The trees do especially well with high 

 culture. 



Bartlett Pears always sell on the markets 

 even when other sorts are not in great demand, 

 fruit is so handsome and appealing that 

 it pays to pack it in fancy containers. 

 Hampers or bushel boxes are best 

 adapted. The fruit ought to be 

 carefully sorted and graded, wrapped 

 in tissue paper, and arranged in the 

 container in practically the same 

 way that you pack apples. Pears 

 are sometimes packed in peach 

 carriers, and sell to good advantage. 

 Plain fruit can be sold without wrap- 

 ping, in small hampers or boxes. 



One or two Bartlett Pear trees in 

 the city yard will furnish a consider- 

 able amount of fruit; a half dozen 

 will supply the family with fresh 

 fruit and a surplus for preserving.
