See price list on page 29 Pear trees budded onto pear roots are known as Standards. Dwarf pears are budded onto quince roots. Dwarfs come earlier into bearing, usually within two years after planting, but they do not last as long as Standards, unless planted deep so that the point of union between the pear and quince gets several inches under ground, in which case the pear stock will strike roots also, and thus eventually become a Standard. Dwarf pears require more culture, fertilizing and pruning than Standards, but are equally as prolific if, indeed, not more so. All varieties are not equally well adapted for dwarfs and we offer trees of only such as are. Dutchess d'Angouleme and Louise Bonne are most suc- cessful on the quince. Pears are much superior in quality if ripened in the house. Pick them about ten days before they would get ripe on the tree. Winter pears should be left hanging on the trees as long as safe, then pick and store like apples. Plant Statidards about 18 to 20 feet apart each way, and Dwarfs 10 to 13 feet. We can furnish Standard trees of all varieties named, but Dwarfs of only such as have the letter " D " affixed to SUMMER. Bartlett. D. — Large, ye
