PEARS. 
The best soil for Pear culture is that of a rich and heavy quality, though good 
results are often obtained on soils of ordinary nature. The fruit of summer and 
autumn varieties should be picked as soon as it has attained full size, when, if ripened 
in dark, dry closets, it is not subject to rotting at the core, and develops its best fla- 
vor. Pick winter sorts as soon as the weather indicates the liability of hard frost. 
Spraying is desirable at the blooming season, but leaf blight can only be treated by 
cutting away the diseased limbs entirely. Thinning increases the size and quality 
of the remaining crop. Distance for standard trees, 15 to 20 ft. ; dwarf trees, 6 to 10 It.
