Time to Gather Pears.

The following remarks were made by Mr.. H. W.
Ravenal, before the "Aiken Is. CO. Vine. growing
and Horticultural Association" recently:
The pear, unlike all other fruits, is improved by
being taken from the tree as soon as the growth is
attained. and the seeds become mature and in this
state allowed to become mellow in the house. The
time between the gathering and the mellowing of
the pear varies for the different kinds, from week
or two, to several months 1t seems then there are
tUo distinct times at either each of which, the
pear may be called ripe. When the growth Is at
tanned and the seeds matured it is ripe to be picked
from he tree; when, after keeping 1t becomes
mellow juicy, and full favored it is then ripe for
eating. The question is, at which of these periods
is the pear to be called ripe? Evidently the term
is one which may be used in either case correctly
and its proper use must depend upon the meaning
to be conveyed. We most commonly speak of
fruit as ripe when it is fit for use for the table, and
the Directors in saying last year that certain pears
on exhibition were unripe, intended to convey the
meaning that they were UNI pc for use, and there
FORE they could not judge of their quality. Where
pears are we'll known by their names to the Exam
lining Committees Of Horticultural Societies, diff
ferent course may be adopted. Knowing the usual
quality of any particular pear they may be able to
pass judgment on specimens without tasting, but
simply by examining the size and general appear
ance Of the fruit We have scarcely had sufficient
experience here of the many varieties of pears, 20
adopt that plan; but evidently, whatever plan is
adopted the term ripe must be arbitrarily used to
denote one or the other of those periods at which
the pear may be really said to be ripe. The plan
which has been proposed, viz that when pears
are exhibited which, though ripe for gathering are
not yet ripe for eating they should be- kept by the
Directors until they attain the latter state, would
be attended with this inconvenience, viz that
should they rpen during the Intervals of our meet
ings, the Examining Committee would have no op-
portunity of judging of their qualities, unless an
extra meeting was called specially for that purpose
Without making final decision on the subject the
Directors think it best for the present that pears
should only be exhibited when they are ripe for
use, as it is the only time when Judgment can be
passed upon them.
