fruit its (air chance, by siiffeiing it to over|iower 

 itself, by great and excessive production, which 

 our liot suminers predispose it to do. I «ni not 

 satisfied, that if we thinned properly our fruits in 

 May, we should not escape the evil so universal, 

 of blight, and crackingof the fruit in Au<j;ust. Sure 

 it is, that when we have a small crop, the pear is 

 more fiir, and well flavored. 



You will excuse an old cultivator for making 

 these suggestions. My own estate, I have been 

 long convinced, is not adapted to tlu; pear. Its 

 sub-soil is either gravel or sand. The pear will 

 not flourish, except in very deep loams, or on a ba- 

 sis of clay. It is equally true of the plum. I have 

 now endeavored to remedy the evil, by applying 

 clay as a manure, instead of aniiual manure, which 

 is transitory, and I recoiuniend the trial to others, 

 6in)ilarly situated. My first trial is \ery favorable 

 — extremely so.
