DWARF PEARS. 197 



The varieties of the pear do not grow with equal facility 

 upon the quince. A few, as the Duchesse d'Angouleme, 

 Louise Bonne of Jersey, and Beurre Diel, are so much im- 

 proved in quality that their cultivation on pear stocks is 

 wholly discontinued by skilful fruit growers. A larger num- 

 ber flourish '^-ell, but are little changed in quality, as White 

 Doyenne and Dearborn's Seedling. A few, on the other 

 hand, succeed badly or wholly refuse to grow upon quince 

 stocks, without double workings which consists in first bud- 

 ding some freely growing pear upon the quince bottom, and 

 then budding or grafting the " refractory" sort into the pear 

 shoot. 



As a general rule, double-worked trees do not flourish 

 for a great length of time. Single-worked have done welj 

 for 30 or 40 years under favorable influences. 



The following list, made out chiefly from the combined 

 experience of European and American cultivators, may prove 

 Yaluable to those commencing with dwarf pears : 



.. Pears succeeding better on quince than on pear stocks^ and 

 which should be mostly worked as dwarfs.
