All Wards Pear Trees are healthy, dependable, easily-grown varieties. 
Wards ship sturdy 2-year old trees, vigorous, well rooted, sprayed and 
pruned for proper growth. All are budded or grafted from bearing orchards 
to assure choice fruit. Pear trees are hardy and will thrive wherever apple 
trees grow, but produce better in clay loam. At least two varieties should 
be planted for proper pollination and best yield. Plant 30 to 40 ft. apart, 
spring or fall. Shipped Prepaid from Nursery. (See Pg. 31 for Dwarr PEARS.)
