Pear Nursery 
Minnesota 
RECOMMENDATIONS 
Mr. T. L. Aamodt, Assistant State Entomologist and State Nursery In¬ 
spector, stated in his address before a large group of Minnesota fruit growers 
and nurserymen: “Development of the commercial apple industry in the 
state of Minnesota is coming fast and it is my belief that the pear growing 
industry will advance rapidly just as soon as people have come to realize 
that we now have varieties of pears which can be grown in this state suc¬ 
cessfully. We now have several varieties of pears which have proven capable 
of withstanding Minnesota conditions. It is generally agreed that the pear 
surpasses the apple as a canned fruit. 
“I believe our local nurseries realize the necessity of proper, hardy under¬ 
stock for pears and apples better than nurserymen located in other states, 
particularly south of here. I believe that to purchase northern grown pear 
trees is a matter of importance. The local nurserymen are making every 
effort to be sure that pear and apple trees are grafted or budded on good 
hardy stock. . It is my opinion that every orchard, in Minnesota should have 
a few pear trees .” 
Professor Hansen, writes, “My opinion is that successful pear culture for 
home and market use is now possible for all South Dakota and the prairie 
Northwest, also for Southern Manitoba and Saskatchewan.”
