Dr. Kellogg's garden on Los Angeles street is a pear tree which bears a full crop of fruit bi-annually. In the same garden is a plum tree which is now loaded with fruit—the second crop this year. The case of the pear tree, though rare, is not by any means the first that has been recorded as bearing two crops in one year, but we have never heard of a plum tree bearing with such prolific prodigality. These frequent yields, however, can not but Mr. Crowther yesterday sold his entire stock of iron to Mr. H. McDermott and finally closed his career as a blacksmith.

The case of the pear tree, though rare, is not by any means the first that has been recorded as bearing two crops in one year, but we have never heard of a plum tree bearing with such prolific prodigality. These frequent yields, however, can not but exhaust the vitality of the tree and it will probably be found that they will wither and die prematurely. Col. R. S.
