In closing our remarks on pears, we will observe, here, 

 that one of the reasons why there has been a discouraging 

 impression made as to the value and success of the Dwarf 

 pear in the West and in this vicinity, is that some of the 

 Eastern nurserymen, before they became acquainted with 

 the right kind of stock, sent trees worked on the Upright 

 Quince, instead of the Angers or Paris — the latter is the 

 stronger of the two, if there is an}^ difference.
