Pears 
For Toothsome Preserves 
As a rule, Pears are most successfully grown in a 
very heavy clay, or clayey loam, that has been well 
fertilized. If grown in sandy soil, coarse manure or 
litter should be worked into the soil. Mulching is 
of great benefit, and the orchard should be kept cul¬ 
tivated at all times. 
This list of select varieties has been reduced to 
such as have been thoroughly tested and have proven 
valuable throughout the largest section of the South.
