PLANTING INSTRUCTIONS 
Pears should be spaced at least 30 feet 
apart, and due to their tall, upright growth, 
often fit in well as shade trees for instance 
in the back yard. Planting of the trees 
should be done as stated for apples on 
pages 8 to 11. Pears succeed in poor soil, 
in fact they begin to bear younger if the 
trees grow slow due to inferior soil.

Kieffer for canning. <A hardy, heavy 
producer, that can be grown anywhere, 
even in the North where other pears would 
not be sufficiently hardy. For fresh eating 
the quality of Kieffer is not as good as that 
of the other sorts listed here, but for can- ~ 
ning it is as good as any. For this purpose ~~ 
the pears are ground up and canned with 
lemon, orange, or quince for flavoring. You 
may try this method; I am sure you will 
like them, and find canning very simple.
