PEARS 
STANDARD PEARS should be planted 20 feet apart. They will grow on almost any soil, 
provided the subsoil is not too wet. Whenever this is the case the ground should be 
thoroughly underdrained. In very poor soil a moderate top-dressing of manure in the fall 
will be of advantage. When a tree is assailed by the blight, cut off the part affected 
several inches below all appearance of the disease.
