The letter " D" appended to the description of varieties, indicate that such varieties can be supplied 

 either as dwarf or standard. 



The cultivation of this noble fruit is extending as its value is appreciated. The range of varieties is such 

 that, like apples, they can be had in good eating condition for a long time. 



Dwarfs must always be planted sufficiently deep to cover the junction of the pear and quince two or 

 three inches ; the soil made rich and well tilled, and about one-half of the previous summer's growth cut off 

 each spring. Under this treatment dwarfs are everywhere successful. The side branches should not be 

 removed higher than one foot from the ground in dwarfs, while standards may be trimmed to the height 

 desired.

 next to the sun ; buttery, very juicy and high

Clapp's Favorite— Very large ; yellowish-green to full 

 yellow when ripe, marbled with dull red in the

 melting and rich. D. August.
