PEARS 
The pear thrives over a wide range of soils and climatic conditions. The roots withstand heavy wet 
soils better than most other fruits. Unlike other fruits, the pear develops better quality when ripened off 
the tree, and should be picked before it begins to soften. Plant trees from 20 to 25 feet apart. 

PEAR, BARLETT 
SUMMER PEARS 
BARLETT—Large size, golden yellow when ripe, with 
beautiful blush on sunny side. Buttery, very juicy and highly

palate of man as the fig.
