The following is a list recommended by J. J. Thomas:

For Market

Bartlett, Beurre Bosc, Duchesse D'Angouleme, Howell, Beurre D'-Anjou, Lawrence.

For Table

Giffard, Tyson, Seckel, Belle Lucrative, Dana's Hovey, Josephine de Ma-lines.

Our Iist - Of the above list, for market, we would throw out the Howell (too soft for market, splendid as a family sort) and Beurre Bosc (not productive enough for the orchard).

For The Table

We would substitute Mount Vernon, in place of Dana's Hovey, and retain all the rest. We now have 2,500 pear trees growing thriftily, and from a miscellaneous collection of over fifty sorts, we have, by grafting, thinned down to the following:

Standards For Market

Bartlett, Beurre D'Anjou, Lawrence.

Dwarf - Duchesse D'Angouleme, Beurre D'Anjou, Lawrence, Vicar of Winkfield.

All of these sorts are capable of a double market, either for sale in the city as fresh fruit, or to the canners for preserving.
