A PROLIFIC PEAR TREE. 
A tree of the kind called Citissc Madame, growing not 
far from Maidstone, is reported to have produced the enor¬ 
mous quantity of sixty-three sieves of fruit this season; 
and as some of your distant readers may not know what a 
sieve is, it is right to inform them that is a trifle less than a 
bushel, although it is often quite that much. Now it is a 
tolerable large Apple-tree that produces twenty sieves of 
fruit. In the neighbourhood, generally, Tears are far from 
being a full crop; hut some kinds do well; the variety 
now noticed not having borne with me for some years 
before; but I am not aware whether that is the case with 
the one in question. At all events, it is an extraordinary 
produce, and I should like to know if it has been equalled, 
or excelled, by any other tree in the kingdom, Pear or 
Apple.—L. S. D.
