Williams's Bon Chretien, Colmar d'Aremberg, Duchesse d'Angon-leme, Esperen, Beurre Clairgeau, Nouvcau Poiteau, Alexandrine Douillard, SpoBlberg, and other very productive varieties, succeed perfectly well, and produce every year handsome and very good fruit. Experiments with large-fruited varieties worked with small ones, and melting kinds with those that are not so, have led to no conclusive results. Nevertheless, several kinds of pears may be gathered from the same tree. The length to which the scion ought to be inserted is very variable; it should be in proportion to the length of the part not inserted, and a length of 1 centimetra, (four-tenths of an inch,) has succeeded quite as well as one of 15 centimetres, (nearly. 6 inches.) We are of opinion that some kinds of ornamental shrubs may be treated in the same way.

M. Luizet, of Ecully, (Rhone,) was the first who called attention to this mode of grafting, in 1849; after him a horticulturist at Rouen, and we were amongst the first who practised it in France. M. Luizet also increases the size of his pears by inarching an herbaceous or young growing shoot on their footstalks, and maintaining the fruits in a horizontal position. We have witnessed these facts and can vouch for the whole of them. - Annates dc l'Academic d'Horticulture de Gand.

The Pear #2

Mr. Hovey does not answer Dr. Russell's sustained charges respecting that " Boston pear " of his, but as was to be expected, contents himself with snowballing respectable people (one of whom H. knows perfectly well is abroad) through his lowest scavenger. Very like. What is the price of the newest and best pear with the aroma of "champagne?" Is it champagne made from apples, or grapes? Can it be possible that Mr. H. aspires to be ' president of the Massachusetts Horticultural Society?
