Pears do best on a heavy clay soil. After the first year they should 
be cultivated but little and mulched with coal or wood ashes. Salt 
scattered about the roots is said to be a preventive of blight. The 
varieties we ofl'er are the very best. Standard pears should be planted 
eighteen tn- twenty feet apart each way.
