Herewith I send you, from Messrs. CURTIs & Lincoln, a sample of Master Beurre Pears, such as they have exhibited of late at our Society. Mr. Curtis listened to the remarks made by yourself and Messrs. Josiah Stickney and B. V. French, at the time the Pear was under discussion, during the holding of the Pomological Convention in this city, and thinking you were not so favorably impressed in regard to this variety, has requested me to forward these, that you may test and report on the same. Such Pears readily sell at from two to five dollars per dozen. Eben Wight, Chairman of Fruit Committee. - Boston, Mass.

Dr. Wight and Messrs. Curtis and Lincoln will please accept our thanks for the box of Pears. They were well ripened and delicious; but Mr. Curtis is mistaken in regard to our opinion of the merits of this fruit, as be will see by referring to page 158 of the proceedings of the last session of the Pomological Society.

Dr, Warder, of Cincinnati, passed through Rochester, on the 24th of February, on his way to the annual meeting of the National Agricultural Society at Washington. He informed us that when he left home, people were planting Peas and Potatoes. Here we had from one to three feet of snow, with the thermometer, off and on, about zero! The Doctor, by the way, is trying to resuscitate his magazine; and we hope he will succeed. Men who display such courage, deserve success.

The Pennsylvania Horticultural Society has issued its schedule of premiums for 1855. Will the editor, at his earliest convenience, examine it for the benefit of his numerous readers!

With pleasure; but we have not received it. Indeed, we seldom receive an account of the proceedings of horticultural societies until they are too stale to be of much interest If societies are not disposed to give their doings publicity through a proper medium, it is their loss more than ours.
