For Those Who Realize the Value of Quality 
37 
Standard Pears 
The home orchard is not complete without 
Pears and they are a very profitable commercial 
crop in nearly all parts of the country. Pears 
will live on a variety of soils, but succeed ex¬ 
ceptionally well in a hard clay soil. Tilling and 
fertilizing are advisable to a certain extent, but 
should not be carried far enough to produce 
too vigorous a growth. The quality of the Pear 
is much improved by picking before maturity 
and by proper ripening indoors. 
Big profits are realized from Pear orchards— 
our trees produce first grade fruit.
