MULBERRY 
Every farm should have Mulberry trees 
about the back yard, and where the chickens 
run. They make a quick, long-lived shade, 
and produce abundance of fruit. They com- 
mence to ripen before peaches and plums 
and continue six to eight weeks.

BLACK ENGLISH. (April and May. 
Luxuriant grower, bearing at two years 
after planting, with large fruit, and un- — 
usually large and attractive leaves. 
HICKS. April and May. Tree extra 
hardy; almost everbearing. 
PEARS 
Pears, as a rule, do not come into bearing 
until five or six years after planting, but 
live longer than any other fruit trees, ex- 
cept perhaps Apples. Pears, however, will 
not thrive in soil infested with root rot, the 
fungus that kills cotton. Otherwise, they 
are good in all soils. Tops should be cut 
back every winter somewhat for.two or three 
years, to make more spreading growth. 
Pears, Figs, and Berries will do better on 
low, poorly drained land than other fruits.

NOTE: Except for Bartlett, whose range 
is limited, most successful pears are hard, 
and make the finest preserves. But if picked 
with cotton gloves on hands, wrapped in 
paper and stored in cool place, the fruit 
~will become mellow and delicious and keep 
for a long time.
