pears. 
In order of ripening. 2 years, 25 cents each; $2.50 per 12, $20 per KH). 1 year 
trees, 20 cents each ; $15 per 100. Extra larg'e and new 
varieties 6 to 7 feet, 50 cents. 
The pear is the most profitable fruit we know of. After a tree has once 
begun to bear, it will bear regularly every 3’ear. The tree is very long lived 
if it has a favorable locality* where it can send its roots deep into the ground 
for a supply of moisture ; for this reason pe.'tr trees can only be planted where 
the subsoil is rich and deep. 
The soil most adapted to pear culture is rich loam, which contains a good 
supply of humus. Sandy soil with clay subsoil is also good if well manured. 
Pear trees should however never be planted on soil where the roots of cotton 
and potatoes rot, as such soil has the same effect upon pear trees. 
The following are the best varieties.
