BARTLETT PEARS ON A YOUNG TREE 
HARDY SELECTED STANDARD PEARS 
LISTED IN ORDER OF RIPENING 
Pears grow best on a heavy type soil but can be grown successfully on any well 
drained soil of average fertility. They are among the most valuable of tree fruits for 
canning and fresh use and a few trees should be included in all home plantings. Two 
or more varieties should be planted for proper pollination.
