 seedling georginas. — Fruit. Grapes : Wortley Hall seedling, White Nice. 

 Pears : Duchesse d'Angouleme, Gendeseim, Marie Louise, from standards ; 

 Bon Chretien fondant, from a standard, a good bearer, a very melting fruit; 

 Seckle ; Due de Berri, first time of its fruiting in the garden ; Sucre Vert, 

 Verte longue panachee ; Doyenne blanc, from a quince stock, from a 

 thorn stock, and from a mountain ash stock ; Moorfowl egg, from a 

 mountain ash stock. Pears grafted on thorn, planted in good soil, come 

 early into bearing ; the fruit is fully larger than on the common stock, and 

 the quality equally good, at least whilst the trees continue in a healthy vigo- 

 rous state. The effect of the mountain ash stock appears to be to make the 

 fruit later in ripening. As these stocks do not swell equally with the pear, 

 it remains to be determined, in future, what the consequences will be in 

 regard to the growth of the sorts, their duration, and quality of the fruit 

 when the stocks get older and more contracted. A less supply of sap will 

 then flow, which may probably occasion the fruit to be more gritty.
