Pears 
As a rule, Pears are most successfully grown in a very heavy, clay, or clayey loam, that lias 
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 dll times. 
This list of select varieties has been reduced to such as have been thoroughly tested and have 
proven valuable throughout the largest section of the South.
