MAKE MORE PROFITS WITH CARLTON PEARS 
The pear thrives over a wide range—being able to 
stand more summer heat than the apple. The Freneh 
pear root also withstands heavy wet soils much bette 
than most fruits. The popular Bartlett rules supreme 
as a summer pear, but some of our fall and winter va- 
rieties are even finer in quality and flavor, and all 
lovers of fine pears should include some of these in 
their home gardens. Unlike most other fruits, the 
pear develops much better quality when ripened off 
the tree, and the fruit should be picked before. it 
begins to soften. 

Special Note: The New CANNERY RULING elim- 
inates many of the short necked strains of Bartletts.

fies in leneth and diameter.
