SELECT PEARS 
The following list includes most of those which have been well tested and are valuable. 
A special list of those which we find particularly well suited to the quince stock will be found at the 
end of the general list. 
Gathering Pears. One of the most important points in the management of Pears, is to gather them at the 
proper time. 
Summer Pears should be gathered at least ten days before they are ripe, and Autumn Pears at least a 
fortnight. Winter varieties, if they will hang so long, may be left until the leaves begin to fall. 
Thin the Fruit. We cannot urge too strongly the following suggestion: when pears trees are heavily 
laden, the fruit should be thinned when about one-third grown; else the fruit will be poor and the trees 
injured. 
Dwarf Pears are those which are budded on the quince stock and are particularly desirable for gardens, 
though from our own experience we have found certain varieties grown in this way very profitable for 
market. 
Prices of Dwarf Pears are the same as for Standard Pears, except in some cases by the hun¬ 
dred as noted. 
Grade. We offer but one grade of Standard and Dwarf Pears, viz., first-class or No. 1, as follows: 
Standard trees, about 5 to 6 feet in height; Dwarf trees, about 3 to 4 feet in height. The quantity 
which can be supplied is indicated by the price. 
Prices — 25 trees of one variety will be furnished at the 100 rate. 5 trees of one variety will be furnished 
at the 10 rate. 
SUMMER VARIETIES

buttery, and melting, with a rich musky flavor.

$25.00. Dwarf, 100 for $15.00. 
Clapp’s Favorite. Resembles the Bartlett, ripen¬ 
ing a few days earlier; hardy and vigorous 
either on the pear or quince. Care should be 
taken to pick the fruit at least ten days before it 
would ripen on the tree. 50c each. 10 for $4.00.
