The same may be said of Pears as has 
been remarked on Apples, respecting coun- 
try grafting Ac., only the quantity brought 
into the markets is few, compared with that 
of Apples ; and they are in general of in- 
ferior quality and short duration. 
Pears grafted on good healthy wild Pear- 
stocks, raised by layers, come sooner to 
bearing : observe at the same time that the 
grafts are taken from good full-bearing 
healthy trees. The most part of our fruit 
trees answer better on stocks raised by 
layers, (if well performed, and selected 
from their respective wild kinds), espe- 
cially such as are intended for walls. 
I look upon the proper method of layer- 
ing the various kinds of trees and shrubs 
which may be propagated in this manner, 
to be the niceest practical or working part 
of the art of gardening, or nursery. It is 
practice alone that can teach any person to 
be expert and successful.
