BASSETT & SON. ADDITIONAL VARIETIES OF PEACHES. Amsden's June. Stephens' Rareripe. W^ger. Hale's Early. Pratt. Melocoton. Yellow St. John. Susquehanna. Pears. Culture.—Pears should be planted 20 feet apart each way (108 per acre) and kept well cultivated. The first two or three years some hoed crop may be grown between the rows, but ample space should be given the trees. After this the trees should be given full possession of the soil.

Except where noted, the fol- lowing prices to be used : Pirst-class, 5 to 7 feet, 40 cts. each, $4 per dozen, $30 per 100. Bartlett.—Large, clear yellow, and juicy, with a flavor peculiar to itself, which has made it the most popular pear for market in this country. Season, August. Anjou.—Large, yellow, juicy and of superb quality. Vigorous grower and pro- ductive. Season, autumn. Clapp's Favorite.—Large and delicious, ripening before Bartlett, but must be picked before ripe or it will rot. Lawrence.—One of the best late pears. Foliage not affected by leaf-blight. Very sweet and juicy. Profitable. Season, December. Kieffer.—A hybrid from seed of Chinese Sand pear. Entirely distinct in all respects from common varieties. A most remarkable bearer, perfectly healthy and vigorous grower. Flavor not considered equal to Bartlett by some. A very profit- able variety. Season, autumn. A superb variety for canning, for which purpose it is unequalled. 5 to 7 feet, 50 cts. each, $5 per dozen, ^40 per 100. Seckel.—Too well known to need description. Though s
