Pears 
PRICES: Please refer to condensed price list, page 3. 
The pear thrives over a wide range—being able to stand more 
summer heat then the apple. The French pear root also withstands 
heavy wet soils much better than most fruits. The popular Bartlett rules 
supreme as a summer pear, but some of our fall and winter varieties 
are even finer in quality and flavor, and all lovers of fine pears should 
include some of these in their home gardens. Unlike most other fruits, 
the pear develops much better quality when ripened off the tree, and 
the fruit should be picked before it begins to soften.
