Tlie land upon which I planted 50 Pear Trees in May 1867, i^^ 

 an alhivial soily and had borne carrots for two years preceed- 

 ingj with the application of tAventy-tive loads of barn-yard maii- 

 tire per acre each year, and ploughed ten inches in depth. TIk- 

 rows are twenty-five feet apart, and the frees ten feet in 

 the roAv, with standards and dwarfs alteniating. 



The varieties are Flemish, Beauty, Bartlett, Clapp's Favorite, 

 Bell Lucretin, Btift'um and Shelden. 



The shoots grew in 1867, from six to twenty-four inches in 

 length, and the next season about the same : only one of the 

 trees died from setting, but the following .Spring two more neg- 

 lected to leaf out properly, and their places were supplied b\ 

 more^

The one-fourth acre of land upon which was groAvn a crop of 

 onions entered in your Society for premium, is a part of a field 

 of two acres, and consists of sandy loam. It has borne onions 

 for six consecutive seasons. 



Twenty loads of manure of thirty bushels each per acre, Avas 

 plowed under six or seven inches in depth in November. As 

 soon as it was dry enough in April, it was thorougly harrowed, 

 bushed and raked over, and thirty-five bushels of ashes applied 

 per acre.
