with good care, the weaker tree would
not grow to equal the other. The ex-
ira tree would now be an ornament to
any orchard, large. thrifty and loaded
with fruit. The first class tree was
broken down last year by accident
but was not more than half as large Of
the tree classed as extra. The second
class tree looks thrifty, has all the
fruit it can sustain, but cannot sustain
more than one fourth as much fruit as
the extra tree, and is about one fourth

of more Importance than the nature
of the surface soil. l should think
that pear trees would do we'll on bot
tom land on the high banks near our
riyers, as this alluvial formation has
much clay, but have had no expert
eace on such soils. Situations having
adobe or chalk within three or foul
feet of the surface will hardly do fol
pears. / have seen good success with
dwarfs on clay with adobe about eigh'
leet below the surface. Standards
would have failed there.
Another essential condition is good
drainage. Pear trees are SO sensitive
upon this subject that they will give
no real success without disinage. Ii
the drainage is defective your trees
will decline and die according to the
degree of the defect in drainage. So
if you fail in this particular you will
fail altogether, however complete eV'
cry other provision. If your plot is
so situated that the water does not run
off quickly, and open bitches are OBJ

drainage or use for something else the
money you would pay for pear trees.
