3T The fruit is much improved if picked before it is ripe ; it never should be allowed to ripen on the trees. The fruit of winter varieties should be left on the trees as long as possible, then stored in a cool, dry cellar, and removed to a warm room for ripen- ing as wanted. We have the largest and finest stock of pear trees we have yet had ; we have made our prices very low on this account, and hope to dispose of our stock early in the season. Should you contemplate planting largely of this profitable fruit, please send us a list of the varieties you need, when we will send to you our lowest estimate bv return mail. YOU CAN SAVE TEN PER CENT. We will allow you a discount of ten per cent, on any order to the amount of $t.oo and upward, provided the same reaches us before March 15th. (We cannot allow this discount on the collections named in this catalogue.) VALUABLE NEW VARIETIES.
