THE PEAR
HOME CULTIVATION. A pear of good quality, eaten when in prime condition, is a fruit of real luxury. That proviso regarding condition means a great deal. It is undeniably a fact that very many pears are eaten before they are fully ripe, which means that they have not developed their finest flavour. In. some cases, when the perfect condition is reached, it is maintained for only a short period, after which it deteriorates rapidly. These are reasons why choice pears are pre-eminently fruit for home cultivation; but when it is decided to grow pears, it should be determined to take the matter seriously and make all provision possible to attain a high level of success. This involves judicious selection of varieties, choice of the most favourable situations and provision of suitable storage accommodation so that good fruit may not be spoiled after it is grown and harvested.
