PEARS 
The introduction of Asiatic varieties several years ago, with several seed- 
lings originating from them since, has greatly checked the blight, and Pear grow- 
ing for the past few years has increased very largelj' in the South, and large 
orchards are being planted with big profits. 
Plant on land that naturally drains itself, or is made so artificially, and after 
one or two years culture let it run to sod, keeping the weeds and grass mowed 
underneath the tree. For home use a few trees scattered around the residence 
usually do well. 
If the ends of any of the limbs begin to turn black, cut them off at once, 
some distance below the diseased wood, and burn them. Give them an annual top 
dressing of wood ashes, and a good coating of the wash recommended for Apples 
and Peaches.
