PEARS. 
The Pear, like most other things highly desirable and valuable, cannot be had without 
attention, labor and skill. The relative price of the apple and pear being about as one to 
ten, show at the same time the superior value of the latter, and the greater skill required 
to bring it to perfection. Summer pears should be gathered at least ten days before they 
are ripe, and autumn pears at least a fortnight. Winter varieties, if they will hang so 
long, may be left until the leaves begin to fall. 
Dwarfs must always be 
planted sufficiently df.f,i> 
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 tlieprevioussum- 
rner’s growth cut off each 
spring. Under this treat- 
ment dwarfs are everywhere 
successful. The side 
branches should not be re- 
moved higher than one foot 
from the ground in dwarfs, 
while standardsmay be trim- 
med to any height desired. 
Train in pyramidal form. 
Gather when, on gently lift- 
ing the fruit, the stem will 
readily separate from the 
limb. ' Place in a dark room 
until fully matured. Winter 
pears may hang on the trees 
until danger of frost.
