There has undoubtedly been more money made through the grow- 
Bartiett ing of Bartlett pears than from any other variety. Its name was 
derived from Mr. Enoch Bartlett, of Dorchester, near Boston, who claims to 
have been the first man to cultivate this variety in the United States. 
This sort can be grown in most all sections of the country, but is more 
largely grown in California than in any other. It is of particular value for its 
canning and drying qualities as well as being a good shipper. The tr'ee is a 
vigorous erect grower and a late bloomer, consequently can be depended upon 
to produce a crop.
