planting the Scions, is a great desideratum
in the art of obtaining choice fruit. 1t has
many advantages over grating, because it is
more expeditions, and requires no stalk or
tree. They may be planted where they are
required to stand; and the labor of a man
for one day will be sufficient to plant out
enough for large orchard after the scions
are obtained. The method of preparing the
plant is as follows. Take the scions as for
ENGRAVING, and at any time after the first of
February and until the buds begin to grow
considerably, and dip each end of the shoot
in melted pitch or wax. rosin and tallow,
and bury itin the ground, the buds upper
most, whilst the body lies in horizontal
position, and at depth of two or three in
ches. We are informed that trees obtained
in this way will bear in three or four years
from the time of planting. We have no
doubt of the practicability of this method of
raising fruit. Doctor Paige, OF this village,
planted about twenty scions ofdiiferent kinds
of Pears, the middle of last month, two of
which are now in blossom at the surface Of
