Pears. 
The Pear, like most other thing’s highly desirable and valuable, 
cannot be had without attention, labor and skill. The relative prices 
of the apple and Pear being about as one to ten show at the same time 
the superior valueof 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 deep to cover the 
junction of the Pear and Quince 2 or 3 inches, the soil made rich and 
well tilled, and about one-half of the previous summer’s growth cut 
off each spring.
