PEAR TREES 
The one great drawback to growing pears has been blight. For years experi¬ 
ments with methods of growing and stocks have been conducted and now after 
a pretty fair test it has been proven that the trees grown on Ussuriensis stock are 
blight resistant enough to warrant planting pears extensively again.
