PEAR CULTURE ON THE COAST.

IL has been, within the last few
years, thoroughly demonstrated
mat the pear, especially the Le-
Conte and Kiefer, is a complete
success in this section. There are
some fine orchards around Ocean
Springs from which magnificent
crops were taken this year, consid.
er1ng their age. A small portion
OF the orchard of Mr.. A.. IL. Shan
non, of "Shannondale" Nursery,
Is Just coming into profitable bear
ing, and from these, only about an
acre, he gathered this year about
100 barrels of LeConte pears. In
putting them on the market his
want of experience led him into a
mistake by which he sustained
some loss, without which there was
no reason why the entire crop
should not have been marketed in
good shape, when, at the lowest
calculation, about $500 would have
been realized for them.
We mention this as a fair test of
the LeConte as a profitable orch
ard crop, grown on our ordinary
wire grass" land, while the trees
that are grown in private yards and
small home orchards all around
Ocean Springs, Moss Point, Scran-
ton and Orange Grove are beauties ,
in appearance, and bear phenomin-
crops of fruit. Nh. |. ?. Delmas.
