PEARS. 
Bartlett Pears. 
The cultivation of the pear extends 
to all parts of the state and adjacent ter¬ 
ritory. Thrives best on a heavy soil and 
does well in soils containing considerable 
alkali. Unlike most fruits, pears should 
be gathered before fully ripening and 
placed in a cool, dark place to complete 
the ripening process. The pear is ex¬ 
tensively grown both commercially and 
for home use.
