E. B. Edwards gives us as his experience of pears, in the neighborhood of Haddonfleld, N. J., as follows: -

Duchess d'Angouleme (dwarfs), prolific bearers. Louise Bonne de Jersey, " " "

Honey Pear, ripe in August (dwarfs), prolific bearers. Belle Lucrative, " " "

Doyenne Robin (first season), " very full of pears.

" Boussook, " moderate bearer.

Glout Moroeau (five years from bud), dwarf; no fruit. Doyenne Goubault, dwarf; fair show of fruit. Columbia, dwarf (five years from bud), no fruit.

I have between forty and fifty kinds of dwarf pears, about half of them obtained four, years ago; the remainder last fall. The Doyenne Boussook, described by Downing as Gray Doyenn6, we kept till Christmas, and thought it unsurpassed, in flavor, by any pear.

The Michigan State Agricutural Society will hold its eighth annual fair at Detroit, Sept. 30th, Oct. 1st, 2d, and 3d. We have examined the premium list which embraces a wide range of subjects, and is on a liberal scale. The Michigan Society is very far from being on the " old fogy" list alluded to with justice by Jeffreys, in August.
