JUST WHEN TO PICK PEARS
Should Always Be Done Before Fully
Ripe, Without Brulsing and With
Stems On-Also Graded.

Pears should always be picked care
fully before fully ripe. without bruis-
ing, with the stems on. They should
be laid carefully in the picking-bask-
cts, which should hold half a bushel
or so. and then be hauled to the pack
ing-house or other convenient place
and at once sorted into grades, and
either packed or shipped or placed in
the ripening house for future ship
ment. 1t is usually better, In most
cases, especially with summer fruit.
to pick the trees over two or three
times, although this is not absolutely
necessary, and unless the trees are
overloaded may not be worth while.
When the fruit has not been properly
thinned and the trees are overloaded
many growers begin to pick the fruit
long before II is full grown and send
II to market. BY this means the trees
are not only relieved somewhat. but
the fruit that is left swells to the
largest possible bulk; moreover. salts
factory returns are often secured from
the early pickings. This method is
particularly successful with Clapp's
Favorite and Bartlett Both Of these
varieties will ripen up tolerably well
when they are not much more than
half grown. The same principle Is
successfully used in handling LeConte
and Kieffer pears. but these should be
nearer maturity to be good.
