PEARS on QuIScE Srock.--Much attention
says, the New England Farmer has been given
of late years to the cultivation of the Pear OH
the Ounce stock, and in relation TO which
have been requested to give the results of my
experience. AS n general rule, no trcc will
succeed for any great length of time where Il
is grated on any other than its own species.
There are, however, exceptions to this rule,
and among them, some varieties of the Pear,
which grow vigorously, bear abundantly, and
which seem to be even better adapted TO the
Ounce, than to their own root.
An impression has extensively prevailed un.
favorable TO the cultivation of the Pear on the
Ounce. This has arisen principally from nm
improper selection Of kinds, or from ipjudcious
cultivation. There are, however, three con-
sidcrations which are absolutely necessary 10
success, viz: a deep, rich soil, the planting of
the ounce stock entirely below the surface of
tho ground, and systematic aud scientific
course of pruning, as the tree progresses In
growth.
Objections TO this species of cultivation
have been made from the belief that the ounce
was short-lived tree, and that the crop must
necessarily be small from what arc termed
dwarf trees. Such, however, has not been nv
experience. On the contrary, have near
| trees, on tho ounce root, which are twenty
five years old, and which produce annually
barrel or moro Of fruit each, and for ausht
that can see, they are destined to survive MS
long MS any that possess OH the pear root.
These may, and probably have in some in
stances, thrown out roots from tho pear stock;
but whether this be so or not instances uvc
not rare where such trees have attained in
FRANCE the age Of more than Il hundred wears.
and we know Of ounce tree in Masssch,,.
sctts which Is forty years old, and which has
produced ten bushels of fruit in q season.
The pear, when grown on the ounce, should
always be trained In the pyramidal form.
These may be planted much closer than when
grown az standards. We have known them
TO succeed well where grown at tho distance of
six feet apart in the rows and twelve feet be.
tween the rows. In this way Mr. Rvcs, the
great English cultivator, planted $500 OF the
Louise Bonnc dc Jersey and 800 Gout Nor.
ccau for tho London market We consider
twelve feet apart each way liberal distance.
This would give 500 trees to the acre, and We
arc clearly Of the opinion that soil and sclcc-
ton OF varieties being right, no crop whatever
would be more profitable. Such plantation,
with proper care, would yield, In tho flfth
year. from seventy-fivo to one hundred bush
els of fine fruit As to profit, this will not
appear al exaggcration, when 1t Is known
that Glout Morccau pears, variety which
succeeds admirably on tho ounce, have sold
during the winter readily at one or two dollars
per dozen.
We name as varieties which succeed well
on tho ounce the following, and to which
might be added many more Louise Bonnc dc
