This is one of the magazines which we always keep on our table, and we allow none but the best there. In looking over the number for February 16th, just at band, we find a very fair notice of our own February number, and we wish to add here a few words in regard to what is said of the Dwarf Pear. The editor says, " No good propagator at the present time thinks of setting his buds more than an inch or two above the surface; and among the hundreds of thousands we have seen in nurseries of late years, probably not one in a hundred was budded three inches high." He has been rather more fortunate in his observations than we have, and we are glad to know that so many Dwarf Pears are worked at a height which satisfies so fully the conditions of our proposition. From observations made, rule in hand, in a number of nurseries, and from measurement of trees purchased in different sections of the country, we have found the height to vary, among the best propagators, from about two to six inches; the latter we think too high.

By the same process, we have found others to be worked from six to twelve inches high, the latter not often from nurseries, but in trees generally hawked about the country by pedlers, sold in auction-rooms, and exposed in the streets; and against these latter we wished to caution the young nomologist, to whom we specially addressed our remarks; and we wished, too, to drop a caution against deep planting generally. Our opportunities for observation have been by no means small; and we have seen so many cases in which deep planting was manifestly, to us, the cause of failure, that we can not help thinking our remarks timely and to the point. For many years Dwarf Fears have been especial favorites with us, and we wish to do what we can to rescue them from the worst of the difficulties which surround their successful cultivation. The example we gave was a strong one, and selected for that Very reason, because, in a more or less modified form, it is one which presents itself to most beginners; but we did not wish to be understood as intimating that such an extreme case was now common, though we have seen some quite as bad within the past two or three years. We regard bad planting as the most common cause of failure, and bad cultivation as the next.

We can not place the latter first in the category, because a badly-planted tree will not often do well, even with good cultivation, whereas a well-planted tree will frequently give fair results with very indifferent treatment. We are not after the good nurserymen, but the bad ones, and we hope our brother Editor will help us to "catch them".

We agree with what is said in regard to the value of Louise Bonne de Jersey, and as to the quality of Easter Beurre' 'and Glout Morceau, but as we were confined to six kinds, we gave what we esteemed six good ones. Vicar of Winkfield does not come up to our mark.

In regard to "Vergouleuse," we must exonerate our reporter from all blame. He wrote the word Virgalieu, and we altered it. We know there is more than one Pear by this name, and we consider the fact a very unfortunate one. In books and catalogues we have Vergouleuse, Virgouleuse, Virgalieu, Virgoloo, Virgoulo, etc, etc., all variations of one and the same name, however many Fears may be called by it. We consider Vergouleuse the proper spelling, and so have adopted it; if any reason can be given for preferring Virgalieu, we are open to conviction. Where more than one Pear bears the same name, an adjective ought to be added to define it, as is the case with the Columbia; though, in fact, in this latter case the word Columbia is all sufficient. Why may we not aim at being somewhat scholarly and exact in our nomenclature?
