MOORE’S RURAL NEW-YORKER: AN AGRICULTURAL AND FAMILY NEWSPAPER. 
THE PEAR. 
Notwithstanding the opinions of others to the 
contrary, we think onrs is destined to he the great¬ 
est pear-growing country in the world. This fruit 
is peculiarly adapted both to our soil and climate, 
and succeeds North and South, East and West.— 
Those who have read the proceedings of the Ameri¬ 
can Pomological Society, as reported in our col¬ 
umns, must have been struck with the favorable 
reports from so large an extent of country. In¬ 
deed, several stated that the pear was more certain 
than almost any other fruit cultivated. A few days 
since we were honored with a visit from W. Wool- 
nough, editor of the Battle Creek Journal, Michi- f 
gan, who informed us that while the extreme cold \ 
of several past winters had injured not only the 
apple crop, but destroyed very many bearing trees, 
the pear trees had not suffered in the least, and 
every year he had a good crop of Bartlett and 
other pears in his garden, as did others who planted 
trees and gave them decent care, 
L. E. Bkrckmans, the Belgian Pomologist, who 
is now growing pears in New Jersey and Georgia, 
and who is conversant with the state of pear cul¬ 
ture both in this country and Europe, told us a few 
days since that the finest exhibition he ever wit¬ 
nessed was that made the present fall by the Mas¬ 
sachusetts Horticultural Society. He could select a 
collection from that exhibition and successfully 
challenge the world to equal it. 
A correspondent writes us:—“R. B. Warren, of 
Alabama, Genesee Co., N. Y., informed me recently 
that a little five year old tree of the Beurre Giffard 
pear on quince, bore this season 135 pears, which 
he sent to New York, as an experiment, and sold 
them there for $4,72. I have seen the trees of this 
excellent summer pear yield the most abundant 
crops. Mine sold this season in Rochester readily 
at $4 per bushel, to the grocers and fruit dealers.” 
The Bartlett on Quince. — It is well known 
that the wood of this pear does not make a very 
good union with the quince, yet we often see very 
fine trees, bearing well. It is not, however, a 
variety that can be recommended for culture on 
the quince. Some remarks having been made at 
the last meeting of the Fruit Growers’ Society of 
Western New York, unfavorable to the culture of 
the Bartlett as a dwarf, Austin Pinney, an expe¬ 
rienced cultivator of Clarkson, in this county, 
replied that “he had growing some fifteen hundred 
dwarf pear trees, and he was satisfied that more 
fruit could be grown on an acre of ground planted 
with dwarfs, than on the same ground in standards. 
He would always grow the Bartlett as a dwarf. 
Had them nine years old, the trees strong and 
healthy, and bearing well. The fruit from dwarfs 
is much the finest. He can get readily $3 per 
bushel for Bartletts from dwarfs, but only about 
half that price for fruit from standard trees.”— 
Benjamin Fish, of Rochester, had dwarf Bartletts 
growing that yielded him one and a half bushels 
of fruit the last season, and nearly as much for sev¬ 
eral seasons past. 
NEW YORK STATE FAIR. 
In other pages of this number will be found a 
pretty full report of the other departments of the 
Fair, and below we give some notes on the Fruits, 
Flowers, and Vegetables. The Society was very 
fortunate in the time, so far as the weather was 
concerned, but it was too late for a good show of 
Fruits and Flowers. The season, too, has been un¬ 
favorable. The apple crop is almost a failure in 
this section of the State, and it was too late for a 
good exhibition of peaches and plums. The fall 
flowers in some sections had been cut off by frost, 
and the Dahlias have not done so poorly in a score 
of years. Then, the nurserymen had just com¬ 
menced their fall business and could not give the 
matter that attention which they otherwise would 
have done. 
phuit. 
The display of fruit was exceedingly small; in- | 
deed, we never saw so poor an exhibition at any 
State Fair. In the Nurserymen's Department there 
were only two collections of fruit, and these were 
very fine. Thorp, Smith & Hanchett, of Syra¬ 
cuse, exhibited 1G5 plates of Pears, 82 varieties of 
Apples, 32 of Plums, and some plates of Quinces, 
Melons and .Grapes. Ellwanger & Barry, of 
Rochester, presented 147 plates of Pears, 9 varie¬ 
ties of Plums, and a dozen of Rea’s Mammoth 
Quinces. E. C. Frost, of Schuyler county, exhib¬ 
ited three plates of Apples. This comprised all 
the fruit shown in the Nurserymen’a Department, 
except about a dozen plates of grapes by G. E. 
Ryckmah, of Chautauque county, and Dianas and 
Rebeccas by Brooksbank, of Hudson, and a few 
melons. 
In the Amateur's Department the display was a 
little better, the apples more in number and equal 
in quality, but the pears were not as numerous or 
fine. In all we counted over 200 plates of apples. 
John J. Hopper, of Onondaga Valley, exhibited 25 
varieties; Geo. Cross, DeWitt, Onondaga Co., 33; 
A. G. Owen, Big Flats, 20; W. P. Otley, Phelps, 
12; G. Nottingham, Syracuse, 12. These were also 
a few other small collections. Several small col¬ 
lections of pears were shown, numbering in all 
about fifty plates. As a general thing they 
were well grown, but many specimens in these 
collections were improperly named, and we were 
very glad to see the Committee doing good 
service to the exhibitors by correcting these er¬ 
rors. The season was rather late for Plums, yet 
we were pleased to see a dozen plates of very good 
specimens, Reine Claude de Bavay, being the best 
shown. Nine plates of Peaches were exhibited, but 
they were extremely poor, as might be expected 
from the unfavorable nature of the season, a3 well 
as from its lateness. We saw the first premium 
ticket on a plate of the Yellow Alberge, shrivelled 
and partially decayed, that in ordinary times no 
one would think of eating. About half a dozen 
plates of Quinces were shown, the best by E. S. 
Hayward, of Rochester, and some nearly as good 
by Geo. Plum, of Fairmont, Onondaga Co. There 
was a very good collection of Native Grapes—Isa¬ 
bellas well-ripened and Calawbas nearly bo, with 
many of the newer sorts. Hamilton White, of 
Syracuse, made a fine show of Foreign Grapes, 18 
varieties. They attracted much attention, and
