PEAR— On Quince Double Worked on Beurre Hardy 
The Bartlett and many other varieties of Pears will not unite 
when budded direct on Quince root so in order to get Bartlett on 
this root it is necessary to bud the quince with a variety of pear 
that make^ a perfect union, then when the trees are one year old 
they are either buddetl or grafted above the imion. As Beurre 
Hardy grows perfectly on the quince root we use it as described 
above; the result is extra fine trees of Bartlett "Pear on Quince 
double worked on Beurre Har*ly." This double working, on ac- 
count of the extra labor and a year's more time to grow the trees, 
adds materially to the cost. Such trees come into good bearing 
when three j'cars old. This is due to the influence of the quince 
root which causes the trees to set heavy crops when they are quite 
young, this same influence being exerted in later years. There are 
trees on the A. Bloch place almost 50 years old. on quince root, 15 
feet apart, in prime condition and bearing bountiful crops of pears 
annually.
