PEARS 
The pear succeeds on most soils, but does best on a rather heavy loam. Budded on 
its own stock it makes what is called a standard tree; but on quince stock it makes dwarf. 
Standards are best adapted to large, permanent orchards; but dwarfs will come into 
bearing very much sooner and may be planted much closer together. Dwarf must 
ALWAYS BE PLANTED SUFFICIENTLY DEEP TO COVER THE QUINCE STOCK TWO OR THREE 
INCHES.

high flavored; bears early and abundantly; very popular. Vigorous. August and

red in the sun, and covered with small russet specks; vinous, melting and rich. Should 
be gathered early. Vigorous. August.
