Delicious PEARS 
HARDY— EASY TO GROW 
The pear thrives over a wide range of soils and climatic con- 
ditions. The French pear roots withstand heavy wet soils 
better than most other fruits. Unlike other fruits, the pear 
develops better quality when ripened off the tree, and should 
be picked before it begins to soften. Two trees alike or differ- 
ent, planted near each other, will produce more heavily than 
if planted alone.
