Pears 
As a rule, Pears are most successfully grown in a very heavy, clay, or clayey loam, that has been well 
fertilized. If grown in sandy soil, coarse manure or litter should be worked into the soil. Mulching is of 
great benefit, and the orchard should be kept cultivated at all times. 
This list of select varieties has been reduced to s ich as have been thoroughly tested and have proven 
valuable throughout the largest section of the South. We grow Standard Pears principally, but can furnish 
Dwarf trees of a few varieties.

Standard three-year, 5 ft. and up, well branched. $ .75 $(>.00
