MOUNTAIN PEARs-It was formerly sup
posed that the lands along the rivers o
California were the natural home and mos
favored locality for growing pears, espe
cialy the Bartlett variety. More recently
however, it has developed that some of the
very finest fruit produced i'll the State arr
the Bartlett pears grown high up in the
mountains, notably at Grass Valley and in
that vicinity. These have been found
of higher and richer color, and
the fruit to bear shipping far better
than the same variety grown in the valley
Yesterday we had the pleasure of the in
spection of a consignment of Bartlett pears
shipped by G.. H Kinney from the Monte
Vista Ranch, Dutch Flat and they were
of a most superior quality. 1t does not
seem possible for them to be excelled
either in color, size or flavor. 1t thus ap-
pears that the higher foothill and mountain
region, at each point where Bartlett pears
have been grown, proves singularlv adapt
ed to them, and in fact have there found
the exact conditions required for their per
feet growth and maturity.
