Pears will not keep nearly so long as apples, and are usually all marketed, green, early in the season. Selling Fruit.—J. II. Ilalesays: "Get a good dealer and tell him you have a good thing. Have your commission man go and see your place. The business side of fruit- growing means belief in yourself and then making those with whom you trade believe in ; II. II. Hume says:—"The best plan is to get in touch with fruit dealers or commission men in good markets and get them to handle the fruit. Either ship to them on con- signment or sell to them outright. Pick good, reliable men ; send them good material, treat them squarely, and you will receive like treatment in ; Another good way to sell fruit is to secure a num- ber of personal, retail customers to whom you can sell direct. Or make arrangements with stores. In some localities and with some kinds of fruit, it is possible to sell the crop, on the trees, for a lump sum per acre or for the entire orchard. The buyer does the rest. Oftentimes buyers will buy an entire orchard's product, and agree to pay so much per barrel for firsts and so much for seconds ; or they may offer so much per barrel "as the fruit ; Sometimes the arrangement is that the grower is to do all the picking,.
