If a farmer were to say to us that he was about to plant twenty-five pear trees for profit - that is, for market purposes - and that he desired a suggestion as to the varieties and number of each variety he should set out, we would have no hesitation in giving him the following list: Two Early Catharine, two Giffard, four summer Julienne, five Manning's Elizabeth, three Bartlett, five Seckel, and four Lawrence. These ripen in the order they are placed.

It appears that these varieties do well everywhere, and are, therefore, particularly adapted to general cultivation. They are very productive, the trees hardy and vigorous in their growth, and the fruit generally perfect. The Early Catharine and Seckel are not early hearers, hut when they once commence, they seldom fail in giving an abundant crop.

In purchasing the trees, he careful to select good specimens ; have them taken up with all the roots possible ; transplant with every attention; stake firmly, placing the stakes at an angle, with the head to the northeast; keep the ground stirred two or three feet from the stem all around; and allow no cattle to disturb them. - German-town Telegraph.
