Why is not this grape more noticed? It is hardy in this vicinity, at all events, and that is more than we can say for some of the strangers; a good grape, and should be more generally known and cultivated. .

We have also a new grape, (who has not nowadays?) but this fruit makes its appearance under the care of gentlemen high in the artof horticulture, and not apt to be deceived. We do not know whether it has yet been christened, but believe that it is to be named the Brandy wine. I know but little of the grape; it is well spoken of by those who have charge of the vine, and will be described at an early day by those to whom its merits are known. [We should be glad to know more about it. - Ed].

With a very few words about pears, I will conclude. No one is better aware than yourself, of the difference of opinion that exists as to the success of dwarfs. Many utterly condemn; others, as well known, warmly recommend. For one, I belong to the middle class. I have succeeded well with my dwarfs, without extraordinary care or attention; others of my neighbors have done the same: I therefore know that, with proper culture and attention, they will please the eye and charm the palate; and I do not see why they will not pay grown on a larger scale, notwithstanding all that has been said to the contrary. Of this, I understand, we shall in the course of a few years have practical proof, one person in this county being so well convinced of the profits to be derived from dwarf fruit as to plant no less than twenty acres in dwarf pears. Of this I have been informed. But my article is assuming such an unwarrantable length, that I shall leave my ideas of dwarf pear culture for another occasion, merely alluding to my formerly expressed opinion, viz., that the Bartlett is one of the very best pears to grow on the quince stock, for the following reasons: The Bartlett is, when grown on the quince, second to none. It is far larger and higher flavored than when on the pear stock.

Secondly, it is an annual crop, and never fails on the quince; we hear of pears having their bearing years, etc.; every year is a bearing year for the dwarf Bartlett. Thirdly, it is one of the finest growers we have on the quince, and the idea that has been promulgated about want of connection at the graft, is entirely fallacious. I have cultivated Bartletts in an exposed situation during six years, and neither have I, nor any of my neighbors, lost a tree, by having been blown 'off at the graft.
