BULLETIN 822, U. S. DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE. 
While the last two counties named in Table II are unimportant 
from the standpoint of present production, the acreages of trees of 
nonbearing age in those counties are larger than in any others in the 
State. Several other counties having a relatively small production 
at present contain from 900 to 1,500 acres of trees not of bearing age. 
A large total-acreage, however, may be made up of a great number 
of small noncommercial plantings, while a few hundred acres made 
up of several comparatively large plantings may make a community 
interest of considerable commercial significance. 
Varieties. — The Bartlett variety so largely predominates in nearly 
all sections of California, both for shipping fresh and for drying, 
that it may be said practically to constitute the pear industry of the 
State. It is also the principal variety used for canning. In some sec- 
tions the Angouleme, Clairgeau, Cornice, Easter, P. Barry, Winter 
Nelis, and a few others are grown.
