SELECT DWARF PEARS. 
THE Pear, when budded upon the root of the quince, assumes a dwarf habit, and seldom grows 
* above 10 feet in height when properly trained. 
In planting Dwarf Pear trees the stock on which they are budded, and no more, should be 
ander ground. They will then stand firm, and not lose their dwarf character by the rooting of 
the standard stock. The side branches should not be removed higher than one foot from the 
ground on dwarfs. Train in pyramidal form. 
See directions under Standard Pears for gathering and ripening Dwarf Pears. 
The selection of varieties in tlie Dwarf sorts is of importance, and it is a well established 
fact that certain kinds do not thrive well on the quince root. Our list includes the varieties 
valuable as Dwarf trees.
