Dwarf Pears. 
We have manv calls for varieties of Dwarf Pears, which are not generally 
grown as dwarfs, such as Sheldon, Lawrence, Bosc and others. It does not 
seem to be generally understood that many varieties of Pears do not succeed 
when dwarfed. Our principal varieties of dwarf Pears are Duchess d' An- 
gouletne. Clapp's Fa7iorite, Howell. Anjou, Louise Bonne, Seckel, and a 
few others, all of which do well as dwarfs.

There are few more desirable fruits than the Cherry. The trees thrive in 
any well drained location. The Duke and Morello, or acid varieties, are 
thoroughly hardy, while the Heart and Bigarreau, or sweet sorts, will success- 
fully resist very cold weather, and may be grown in most places.
