Pears The cultivation of this fruit is rapidly extending- as its value is appreciated and the demand is increasing- every year, making it one of the most profitable to plant. The range of varieties is such that, like apples, they can be had in good eating condition from August until early spring. The melting, juicy texture, the refined flavor and the delicate aroma of the Pear give it rank above all other fruits, excepting the grape. One of the most important points about the man- agement of Pears is the gathering at the proper time. Summer Pears should be gathered at least ten days before they are ripe, and autumn Pears at least two weeks. Winter varieties may hang on until the leaves begin to fall; then place in a cool, dry cellar. In the East and South, the Kieffer is more easily grown than any other fruit crop. The trees thrive where the apple or peach would starve, and will yield excellent fruit even without care or cultivation. The Pear is no different from other fruits in the matter of yielding large crops in return for careful cultivation. Summer Pears Bartlett.

We have fruited this variety for 30 years and have never lost a tree from blight; have never seen more than a slight twig blight; freest from blight of any Pear we know. Fruit medium; yellow, russeted slightly; fle
