Held its Seventh Session in New York, commencing on the 14th ult, and continuing three days. The discussions, as usual, were of great interest, and will be published in the usual form; the only official portion we have received is the opening addrees of the able President, Col. Wilder, who was re-elected. The address is a forcible appeal in favor of the Pear, and will stimulate the friends of that fruit to renewed cultivation. No one will rejoice more than ourselves to see our markets fully supplied with this fine fruit. Our position, that the dwarf pear is for the garden and not for the orchard, is, we think, sustained by facts. Mr. Hovey, an able advocate for pear culture, agrees in this; in his last magazine he closes an article on the subject thus; " For the orchard, the quince stock is unsuitable, and impatient of the careless culture they now receive".

This is what we have contended for in this journal. Perseverance, after the warm eulogiums passed upon the pear, may be expected. But as far as our knowledge extends, and we have seen many attempts at cultivating on the quince, the general opinion regarding that stock agrees with our own and with Mr. Hovey's. On its own stock, perhaps time sufficient has not elapsed to test the question; but it is in a fair way of being decided ere long - many orchards having been planted out with a view to profit.

Our able reporter furnishes the following account of the proceedings'in New York.
