RARE AND CHOICE VARIETIES OF PEARS.

HOVEY & Co.

Respectfully invite the attention of amateur cultivators to their immense collection of FRUIT TREES, of all kinds, more particularly pears, embracing every variety to be obtained either in Europe or in this country. Their collection is unequalled, both for extent and variety. Upwards of one thousand specimen trees have been planted out on the borders of the walks, extending a mile, a great many of which are already in bearing, affording a fine opportunity for the inspection of the fruit.

They would particularly invite attention to the following kinds, of which they have a fine stock, with the exception of the very rare sorts, of which the number is limited.

Twenty thousand Pear Trees,

Among which are the following kinds now ready for sale, fine trees, from one to five years old, from $1 to $2 each :

I sold the Spys mostly to J. H. Watts, at Rochester. If any of the Monroe County farmers have a better story to tell, let's have it. They were grown on twenty-three trees.
