MOOSE'S BUEAL NEW-YORKER: AN AGBICULTUllAL AND FAMILY NEWSPAPEB. 
\0 d 
THE ALEXANDER PEAR 
During the holding of the New York State Fair 
at Buffalo, last Fall, informal meetings of Pomolo- 
gists were had on several evenings. On one of 
these, which we attended, a new pear was intro¬ 
duced by a Mr. Ei.t, we believe, very much resem¬ 
bling in appearance the Grey Doyenne, from which, 
however, it was the general opinion that it was 
quite distinct. JonN B. Eaton, of Buffalo, who 
had traced out its history, stated that it originated 
in the village of Alexander, Genesee county, the 
seed having been planted thirty-five or forty years 
ago, by a Mrs. Churchill, who had brought it 
from Connecticut The original tree was about 
thirty feet in height, with a trunk ten inches in 
diameter; and was standing until within a very few 
years. Some gentlemen of Erie county, however, 
had obtained scions from the original tree many 
years since, and these grafted trees are now bear¬ 
ing fruit We were about making as correct a de¬ 
scription and outline as we could from the few 
specimens exhibited, which wore represented as 
being quite imperfect, when Mr. Eaton promised 
to send ns an outline and description made the 
previous season. The outline from which our en¬ 
graving was made, we received very promptly, but 
no descriptioiL On writing to Mr. E. on the sub¬ 
ject, supposing that the description was forgotten, 
Mr. E. replied that it was mislaid, but he hoped 
soon to find it We have, consequently waited 
until the present time, when on opening the Janu¬ 
ary number of the Horticulturist, we found the 
description promised ns, furnished by Mr. E. to the 
Horticulturist , from which we now extract it 
haps, save some of my plums; and to this end I ran 
a wire fence across my garden, enclosing, adjacent 
to my hen house, a piece of ground containing 18 
plum trees, besides a larger number of other fruits, 
and there I allowed the hens to act their own pleas¬ 
ure. The result was that the bearing trees (nine in 
number) that were thus enclosed produced the same 
season a very abundant crop of very tine plums.—

trees being young, (third year from setting,) it was

that those fears were groundless, for the same trees 
have the past season all produced some fine fruit,
