SELECT PEARS. 
Pears should be much more freely grown than they are. The young trees come into bearing much earlier than is generally 
supposed, especially^when worked on the Quince stock. Many of the varieties are exceedingly prolific, whilst the fruit are more 
valuable than Apples, choice sorts always finding a ready sale at good prices.
