l might here remark that pears as
general thing are allowed to remain
too long on the tree. Summer pears
should be picked eight or ten days
before ripe, autumn from ten to four
teen days, and winter should remain
on the tree till the leaves drop or the
fruit parts readily from the branches.
These hints observed will add mate
ralfy to the quality of the fruit. The
Pacific coast may we'll be called the
garden of the world for the pear it
