The tree has an interesting history. It is a grand-seedling, being a seedling from a seedling, and this may account for its hardiness. The story, as Dr. Boor gave it to us, is this : In Daniel Warner, who had emi- grated to Henry county, this State, from Eastern Pennsylvania, wrote to his old home for some seed from the pears from a certain old tree that had grown from a seed sent from Eaden, Germany. Only one seed sprouted. The little tree was damaged in some way, but was carefully divided into three parts, each of which grew, and being transplanted, be- came large and vigorous trees, bearing regular and heavy crops ever since maturity. From an eight or nine year old tree in Dr. Boor's yard, between five and six bushels of medium-sized pears have been gathered this fall. On another tree of about the same age the fruit was less in quantity, but much larger in size. Believing the Warner to be a reliable, non-blighting, strictly hardy, ever-bearing va- riety of good fair quality, we take pleasure in recommending it to fruit growers and our readers generally. Dr. W. F. Boor, in letter to us September 11, 1886, says : Warner pears about gone; had an abundant crop, and they were smoother and larger than last year. This is em- phatically a pear year for all kinds. The Warner is here every year, which is one of its many points of recommendation. Trees are as usual healthy and vigorous. CHERRIES.
