Win. S. Lapham of Macedon, N. Y., has a pear tree of the Vir-galieu or White Doyenne pear, standing in a corner of his house yard, which is probably over 25 years old, and which yielded the present year fifteen bushels of fine smooth pears, which sold on the ground at two and a quarter dollars per bushel, or about thirty-four dollars for the crop. One hundred and sixty such trees on acre - which of the size of this would not be crowded - would at the same rate yield the handsome sum of five thousand dollars. If half this were the yearly interest, (and crops nearly as large as this are often obtained) what would be the value of the principal, that is, of one acre of such trees.

Since writing the above, we have been informed of a still larger crop. Israel Delano, of the same neighborhood, gathered from two trees of the Virgalieu, forty-two bushels of pears, all of which were sold at two and a quarter dollars per bushel, or 94 dollars for the two.

The productiveness of this variety is very great, and in Western New.York it succeeds admirably. Of late years, however, there have been occasional indications of the scab and cracking, which have rendered this pear worthless in some eastern portions of the Union, and which, as we observe by Dr. Warder's Review, is beginning to appear in Ohio. Hence the prudent planter will not set out this variety exclusively, but will mix in a good proportion of those equally productive sorts, the Flemish Beauty, Louise Bonne of Jersey, Vicar of Winkfleld, etc.
