It will be seen from this statement that the Pear grafted on the hawthorn 
succeeds ver} r much as it does on the quince and on the free stock ; generally those 
that are very vigorous have no fruit-buds, and those that have little vigour are 
covered with them. There are, nevertheless, some exceptions; and many sorts 
that are very vigorous on the hawthorn yield fruit-buds in the year of their 
plantation. It ought always to be remarked that, in general, Pears grafted on the 
hawthorn are still more fruitful than those grafted on the quince. 
WALL FRUIT PROTECTION—SEVERE FROSTS. 
Having cased a south wall with glass last autumn for growing Peaches, 
Nectarines, Cherries, and Plums upon, I can now show a full crop of these fruit 
the first year of planting. This case is 800 feet in length, 7 feet in width, and 
height on the back wall 14 feet. Provision is made for heating it with flow and 
return hot-water pipes, but this will only be used, in one division of 400 feet, for 
succession purposes. The trees are all planted in the borders on the back wall; 
but there is room for a long row of 300 of dwarf trees in pots to stand on the
