No. 1. Louise Bonne De Jersey

Amateurs need not be frightened at this long French name, as they can drop all but the Louise, which they will find "bon," whether of Jersey or any other island. It is always good, and often excellent and beautiful, of large size, ripening late in autumn and keeping in winter. It is esteemed as a profitable market-pear, and the tree grows vigorously and bears profusely.

No. 2. Duehesse D 'Angoultme

This tree is vigorous and productive, the fruit large and fine flavored - probably the highest of all the large pears. The quality is so much esteemed that its ordinary market-price is $12 to $15 a hundred. It is one of the sorts that should be in every gentleman's garden.

No. 3. Buerre Diet

This, in size and quality, is almost equal to No. 2, and is often more rich and highly aromatic in its flavor, but not generally as productive.

No. 4. The Kirtland

This excellent pear originated in Ohio, and was named in honor of Prof Kirtland, of Cleveland. It makes a vigorous, healthy tree, and the fruit is in perfection through September; often ripe by August 20. It is of good size; bergamot shape; cinnamon russet color all over; is rich and refreshing to the taste; nearly melting; vinous and sugary enough to suit all lovers of sweet, rich pears.

No. 5. Vicar Of Winkfield

This pear is in high favor at Boston, and it certainly grows vigorously here, and makes a beautiful, productive tree. The fruit is called good, or very good, and as it matures at a time when good pears are most wanted, is esteemed a valuable sort for garden culture.

No. 6. Easter Buerre

The vigor and productiveness of this tree is not so fully ascertained as some that we have recommended, and until we find a sort that can equal or surpass it in its first-rate quality, both for late keeping and good eating, it must hold its first rank. At present it is difficult to name a substitute for it.

There, we think we have made a list that we don't claim to be perfect, but one that will be very valuable to a great many people who desire to make a good selection, but have not anything to judge from that is reliable, and free from self-interest that sometimes governs nurserymen, which induces them to recommend such sorts as they have in greatest abundance.

If any object that our descriptions are not scientifically or pomologically worded "according to the book," we reply, we had no book to word from. What we have written is made up from notes taken in the orchard, and from recollection of familiar conversations with one of the best nomologists in the country, and from a little knowledge of our own, particularly in judging of the vigor and productiveness of the trees; and with such as were in perfection at the times we have visited Doctor Grant's orchard, we have given our own impression of the effect upon the palate. Of others, recommended by the doctor, we have the fullest confidence, because he knew that we intended to write out and print our notes, and we are sure that he would not willingly say a word to deceive. He is an enthusiast upon fruit culture, and it would be his greatest delight to see it so extended that every family in the country could have at least as good an assortment of pears as we have here recommended.

An account of his success in propagating grapes we must defer to another article, which we trust will be very instructive and interesting. Solon Robinson.
