PEARS 
Pears are best on gravelly clay upland soils. On rich loams they blight 
seriously. More than one variety should be planted to insure pollination. 
The standard, or large growing trees should be spaced 18 to 20 ft. apart; 
the Dwarfs, 10 ft. 
The following list is arranged in approximately their order of ripening:

into bearing earlier. They are most useful where room is limited. Duchess 
does particularly well as a dwarf.
