Kieffer for canning. A hardy, heavy 
producer, that can he 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-

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 in- 
stance, in the back yard. Planting of the 
trees should be done as stated for apples on 
pages 10 to 13. Pears succeed in poor soil, 
in fact they begin to bear younger if the 
trees grow slow due to inferior soil.
