many small ones, exhibited by amateurs, the latter 
forming a very interesting and profitable feature of 
the show. Among the large collections were, from 
Ellwanger & Barry, 386 varieties of roses, 48 new 
varieties never exhibited before; 66 varieties of 
pseonias; 24 never exhibited before, and 3 seedling 
paionias; 102 flowering shrubs; 141 herbaceous 
plants; 27 petunias; 14 seedlings; 87 verbenas and 
70 seedlings. A. Frost & Co. exhibited 360 varie¬ 
ties roses, 47 never before exhibited; 60 varieties 
verbenas; 16 petunias, Ac. A. Looms, of Batavia, 
exhibited 183 varieties roses; Wm. King, 105; C. J. 
Ryan, 76, and J. Donellan, 25 sorts. These, with 
a score of smaller collections, made a most brilliant 
display, which it would be difficult to excel. 
The President, Selah Mathews, showed a col¬ 
lection of finely grown pot plants in flower, which 
were admired by all, and also a delicious dish of 
ripe peaches, grown under glass. They were 
George the Fourths, large and fine as could be de¬ 
sired. 
Strawberries were fine and abundant, and we 
counted on the tables one hundred and twenty 
dishes. The premium for the best quart was 
awarded to Hooker's Seedling. It was almost too 
early for cherries, and there were only about 
twenty dishes shown. 
T. G. Yeomans exhibited several bottles of fruit 
preserved in his patent fruit bottle, which had re¬ 
tained the original flavor, and received the com¬ 
mendations of visitors, as well as a diploma from 
the committee. 
The show of vegetables was quite respectable, 
though not large.

year, from about 500 of the trees, I obtained over | 
400 bushels of pears, having sold that number, be¬ 
sides a good many bushels eaten in the family.— 
The fruit, on account of sickness, I was obliged to 
sell in this city and Buffalo, at $4 per bushel. Had 
I taken them to New York city, as I designed to 
do, I could have obtained $15 per barrel for them. 
The dwarf trees, at nine years old bore more fruit 
last year than standards of the same age, many of 
my dwarf trees giving from a bushel and a half to 
two bushels. Some varieties, too, are much better 
when grown on the quince root. So satisfied was 
I with my success, that I have been induced to 
plant 2,000 more dwarf trees, and now I have over 
3,000 pear trees growing on less than eight acres 
of land. Among these are 2,000 White Doyennes, 
300 Louise Bonne de Jersey and the balance Seckel, 
Bartlett, Osband’s Summer, Dearborn’s Seedling ( 
Duchesse ^de Angouleme, Easter Beurre, Vicar of 
Winkfield, and one or two other sorts. Now, if 
friend Allen is correct in his views, I have made 
a sad mistake.

Remarks. —We accepted an invitation from Mr. 
Burtis to visit his orchard, where we found many 
beautiful specimens, both dwarfs and standards.— 
Here, to our surprise, we found Bartletts on the 
quince root, more than ten feet high, nine years 
planted, apparently healthy and vigorous, and ca¬ 
pable of bearing a couple of bushels of fruit each, 
which was about the quantity produced last sea 
son. Here, too, we saw the Seckel on its own roots, 
forming a most beautiful pyramid, as regular as 
the Norway Spruce and fifteen feet high. We took 
notes of many things, which we may at some other 
time use, but our columns are too crowded now to 
admit of a more extended notice. Those of our 
readers who can, will do well to accept the invita¬ 
tion of Mr. Burtis and visit his orchard. 
and we will very briefly notice a few of the best.
