| PEARS 
There is scarcely a section in the entire country 
where Pears will not produce abundantly if proper 
care is used in the selection of varieties. By all 
means Pears should be planted extensively for both 
market and home use. 
‘You can have fresh Pears for six months or 
longer if the right sorts are selected, first fresh from 
the tree and then from those that have been stored 
in a cool place. Pears begin bearing in two to three 
years after planting, depending on variety and at- 
tention they get. They grow best on moist, rich 
lands, but are more subject to blight where growth 
is vigorous and heavy. So it is best to give them 
just average lands and not push them too fast. 
Where blight appears, cut out and burn it promptly, 
keeping saw or knife thoroughly disinfected with 
creosote, carbolic acid, or other disinfectant. Care- 
ful and thorough pruning will do much to lessen 
this disease.
