An orchard of Bartlett Pears is a source of abundant income. The trees are sturdy, 
and bear heavy loads of delicious fruit which is easily sold 
Bartlett Pear 
FOR HOME, FOR CANNING. 
FOR MARKET, THE BEST 
Summer. A golden-colored Pear, with a red cheek on most 
specimens. Bartlett mellows and is excellent for eating very 
early in the fall, yet when picked a week before it is ripe, and 
properly stored, will keep till late. Flavor delicious and musky; 
flesh buttery, rich and juicy. One of the finest 
Pears that grows to eat raw. A mingling of the 
V 
Bartlett 
is extra 
good for

flavor of Bartlett Pear and quince gives about 
the finest taste of any food this world’s folks 
have. Bartlett trees bear early, produce 
enormous crops, and are not nearly so subject 
to damage by insects and disease as some other 
sorts. The trees do especially well with high 
culture. 
Bartlett Pedrs always sell on the markets 
even \yhen other sorts are not in great demand, 
y I lie fruit is so handsome and appealing that 
' it pays to pack it in fancy containers. 
Hampers or bushel boxes are best 
adapted. The fruit ought to be 
carefully sorted and graded, wrapped 
in tissue paper, and arranged in the 
container in practically the same 
way that you pack apples. Pears 
are sometimes packed in peach 
carriers, and sell to good advantage. 
Plain fruit can be sold without wrap¬ 
ping, in small hampers or boxes. 
One or two Bartlett Pear trees in 
the city yard will furnish a consider¬ 
able amount of fruit; a half dozen 
will supply the family with fresh 
fruit and a surplus for preserving.
