The planting of Pears is rapidly 
increasing as their commercial 
value becomes more and more ap¬ 
preciated. Like apples, the range of 
varieties is such that Pears may be 
had in good eating condition from 
August until well into the winter. 
Pears prefer a rather heavy clay or 
loam, but thrive on any good soil. 
Plant 18 to 20 feet apart. 
Pear trees bear young. Plant a 
few in your yard, and have plenty 
of this delicious fruit for eating 
and canning. 
We have discontinued propaga¬ 
tion of the Douglas Pear, for we 
have found that the other varieties 
we handle are much superior.
