Fancy Bartlett Pears FOR CANNING Wa hare In Medford Ice k Storage several hundred small boxes of excellent quality Bartlett pears. These boxes weigh between 23 and 25 pounds net, or about half the sis of a regular standard wrapped and packed box. They are all large sises, ideal for can ning. These pears have been washed, graded and sised exactly the same as pears going into our stand ard boxes that we ship to the eastern markets. For those whs would like a few pears for canning purposes we would recommend their purchasing one or mere of these small boxes, priced at $ 1 .00 Sox at Hedf of d Ice & Storage Co. Each pear should be in suitable condition to can, not like the loose pears you buy in field lugs, or culls. Bartletts in this type of package are very limited here in the district and just a tip to those who like fruit during the winter months canned Bartletts, as well as canned peaches and other soft fruits, will be quite expensive later, and for economy's sake you should can a few Bartletts and save some money.
