Too many farmers get less good
than they might from their pear or
chards, because they allow the fruit to
ripen on the trees as they would apples.
Few pears will be at their best if treated
thus. Plucked when fully grown, and
kept in q warm OF cool room as their
ripening is desired to be fastened OF
retarded, the color and flavor of the
fruit will be much better than it would
be if allowed to remain on the tree.
Some of the best sorts rot at the core il
left on the tree until the fruit begins to
turn.-M Y Tribune.
