Many neglect to plant Pear tre3s on account
VI their being so long coming into bearing |
while Others have an idea that it is very diff
cult fruit TO cultivate, II is true we cannot
grow any thing without trouble. Pears need no
more care or better cultivation Than apes, and,
with the same attention, will do as well aud with
many varieties the grower will get fruit from
the pear as quick us from the oppic. We have
IN our ground, pear ttc's OF thu following vari-
cites, planted in 1851 that have borne two
crops, VIZ Bartlett, Oobaud summer, Tyson,
St. GhistOin and Scclde, on p,or stock; taoSe +
OH the ounce, planted ut the same time, have
iruited for The last three seasons, aud are at this
time full of fruit buds. The best soil for this
fruit tree is a strong clOyey loan OF moderate
depth on a subsoil. The pear will, indeed, adapt
itself to ns great variety Of soils as any lrui
tree but in mrivorablc soils it is more liable
10 suffer from disease than any other: Soils
that are damp during any considerable portion
of the year ore entirely unfit for the pear tree
in fact, no fruit tree will do well on wet ground.
The pear SUE tcccds so well us OH open standard,
und requires SO little care for pruning in
deed in the latter respect than any other
fruit tree that training is seldom thought Of
In orchard culture the pear is usually placed
about thirty feet apart each way.
