Descriptive catalogue of southern and acclimated fruit and ornamental trees, grape vines, evergreens, shrubs, roses, &c. . descriptivecatal1895jvan Year: 1895 -20 J. VAN. LINDLKY'S DKSCK11T1VK CATALOGUE. DWARF PEAR TREE. PEARS. For price lint see last pages. — # Standards can be grown in any ground with the same cultivation as the apple, and many of the varieties come into bearing about as soon. Dwarfs are worked on quince stock and come into bearing sooner. They should be grown with strict at- tention and high cultivation if perfection be aimed at, and if this be attended to no fears need be entertained as to the result. The blight has been the great drawback to Pear culture, and to prevent this, ac- cording to our observation and the experience of others, is to plant your Pear or- chard separate from other fruits, and as soon as they get a good start, say three or four years old, never put a plow in again. Sow it down in grass or clover ; keep it mowed down, and apply plenty of manure as a top dressing, to keep the trees in a thriving condition. Both Standards and Dwarfs should be served in the same man- ner. Try this and you will rarely find a blight in your orchard.
