Two of our valued Connecticut correspondents have forwarded separate parcels, without concert, of the pear which goes by this name. Dr. G. W. Russell says it has long been cultivated in the eastern part of the State, and has lately been disseminated under the name of the " Boston" by Mr. Hovey. I obtained them last week (August) in Gilead, sixteen miles from Hartford. Last year I compared 'the fruit and wood, and found them alike, and published an account of the pear in the Homestead. It was the decided opinion of a number who examined both here last year that the " Boston" was no other than the " Pinneo" long cultivated in this State. Accompanying you will also find specimens of Langdon's seedling Plum, (which came safe and are excellent).

Colonel D. S. Dewey says: " We had an excellent show of Fruit, Flowers and Vegetabls at our Horticultural Exhibition (Aug. 12). Among the fruits was a plate of pears from the grounds of John A. Tanitor, Esq., specimens of which are herewith sent, which I obtained from him expressly for you. They are known with us as the Hebron Pear, and my opinion is that they originated in the neighborhood of Hebron, Connecticut, and not far from the original locality of the Pinneo, alias "Boston Pear." I find no mention in the books of any pear by their name, and I send them to you for examination. The tree is an upright grower, and bears abundantly every year. The fruit has been known here for some ten years or more, and is highly esteemed among our early summer pears. I have added from my own trees to fill the box, specimens of the English Jargonelle pear and Red Astrachan Apple, etc".

All which came in good order. The Pinneo, or Hebron pear is identical with the u Boston." No description, moreover, could be more perfect than 0. Downing's of the Boston, if it had only been rightly named the " Pinneo" alias Hebron, as Mr. Harvey now admits. The Columbia Plum. - A correspondent, W. C. W. Baltimore, forwarded early in September magnificent specimens of the Columbia Plum; a drawing of the largest of which is here presented. The tree was obtained from Parsons & Co., and planted in a Baltimore town garden. This fine specimen measured fully 7 1/8 and 7 3/8 inches in circumference, and is the largest we have ever noticed. "Miller's Spanish" may exceed it Have any of our readers kept measurements of General Hand, or Magnum Bonums, to compare with the above dimensions?

"The Wandering Jew - A little runner with an ivy leaf and neat flower," which, in your August number you "commend to the attention of amateurs,' ' is, indeed, a commendable plant. With us it is perfectly hardy, and is known also, by the euphonious epithet of Mountain Myrtle.

An interesting way of growing it is to plant it in a vase, or pot, or small tub, and encourage it to trail equally over the sides, and when the descending tips reach the ground, the pot is elevated on a pedestal, (another pot inverted, or a round block,) and, eventually, it becomes a circular mass of very pretty foliage, sufficiently curious and pleasing in appearance to arrest the attention of all beholders".
