PEARS 
There is scarcely a section in the entire 
country where Pears will not produce abun- 
dantly if proper care is used in the selection 
of varieties. By all means plant them ex- 
tensively for both market and home use. 
If the right sorts are selected, you can have 
fresh Pears for six months or longer, first 
fresh from the tree and then from those that 
have been stored in a cool place. Pears begin 
earing in two to three years after planting, 
depending on the variety and the attention 
they get. They grow best on moist, rich Iands 
but are more subject to blight where growth 
Is vigorous and heavy. So it is best to give 
them just average land 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. Careful and thorough 
pruning will do much to Jessen this disease.

PLUMS AND NECTARINES 
The Plum in Jarge variety thrives over a 
wide range of soils and climates and should be 
generally planted. No home orchard is com- 
plete without several trees of choice varieties 
to give fresh fruit for eating as well as an 
abundance for jams, jellies, preserves, etc. 
There is always a market for choice Plums.

CHERRY 
Not difficult to grow, but the trees are best 
adapted to well-drained, rich soil. The sour 
varieties grow more readily than the sweet, 
but you can have both if your location is 
good. Be sure to plant the trees as soon as 
they arrive—don’t let them lie around. Press 
the soil firmly around the roots and tramp it 
hard. Prune the same as apples or pears, 
but do not cut the central leaders.

APRICOTS 
Fine for Canning 
The Apricot is one of the most luscious 
fruits grown when eaten fully ripe and fresh 
from the tree. It is remarkable that such a 
rich and beautiful, golden, sweet fruit is not 
planted more, especially since it ripens just 
after the early cherries and before the best 
early peaches. Apricots are best adapted for 
city gardens or where trees are protected by 
buildings. A little extra care should be given 
to protect the flowers from late spring frosts. 
When planted in orchards trees may be pro- 
tected by timber or tall-growing fruit trees.
