Special Correspondence of The Constitution.
Thom asvillk, April 16v—“If what they say about
the I-eConte pear is true,” said Mr. George W. Per
kins, of Sew York, to me the other day on his re
turn from TbomasvUle, “its profits are enormous,
and its cultivation will surpass orange culture.”
I have beard this same prediction made scores of
times, but always prefaced by the same caution sig
nal. The fact is, the stories of this wonderful pear
are almost incredible. They can hardly be believed
without seeing, and desiring to believe, I have come
to see.
It i-encouraging to note in the beginning that
the |>eoplo of Thomas county—those who know
most about the pear—have perfect confidence in its
value. Pear orchards are rtarted on all sides. You
cannot drive out of this city without seeing acres
set is these shapely and beautiful trees, bearing sin
gular resemblance to an orange grove. Every man
has stories to tell you of the remarkable hardiness
and fecundity of the pear, and while giving you
permission to doubt everything else, even to the
balniness of the air, that yon can see and feel and
breathe, be demands yourunqualified credence on
this point.
Over 500,000 trees and cuttings are now planted
out in this county—although the LeConte has bad
only a few year’s run. Thousands of cuttings have
been sent elsewhere and reports from them are
just coming in. The points claimed for the Le
conte arc:
1. Perfect freedom from blight—the fatality of
all other pear trees. Prom 1853 to date not the
slightest speck of blight has been seen In a LeConte,
2. The hardiness and size of the trees. A dozen
J-cContes planted in the same grove with a dozen
of the best varieties, shows three times the growth
in the same time, and perfect health against all
sorts of disease In the others.
3. In remarkable yield. Thirty bushels of pears
have been gathered from one tree in a season, and
25 bushels is not an extraordinary yield from a tree
10 years old.
4. The size aud . puality of the pear. One pea
has been grown that weighed within an ounce of a
pound and a half—several over one pound—and a
bushel will average nearly half a pound to the
pear. The LeContes were sold as California pears
in Atlanta all last year.
THE HISTORY OF THE PEAR.
The first thing that struck me in commencing my
investigation was this: If the LeConte is so admi
rable; if it has the vigor of Iho Sand pear, the fla
vor of the Sekel, the fiber of the Bartlett, the size of
the California, is more prolific than either, and is
proof against the blight to which all are subject,
why is it that it has not become world-famous long
ago? Why has it not shown in the section from
which it came the same qualities that distinguished
it here?
The answer to this question develops a most rc-
inarkablo story. It Is given by Mr. Vamcdoe, who
is the special backer of the Le'Ccnte pear, lie
owns a nice place a few miles out of Thomasville,
on which there is a largo grove of trees and over
100,000 cuttings, t-ays he:
“In J85C I was superintendent of the plantation
of Mrs. Harden, in Liberty county. Mr. John
LeConte, Mrs. Hurden’s uncle, who lind been to
Prince’s nursery in New York, brought to her place
n seedling pear tree. He told her it was the Chinese
sand pear, and recommended it for its vigor.adding
that the fruit would hardly lie consid
ered fine eating, but it might do for
preserving. The seedling was planted und grew
with notable rapidity. About the time it began to
bear the war came on, and 1 went into the army. In
ls«6 when I returned ho discovered that his seed
ling It,id grown into a handsome tree, and was
loaded with the most delicious fruit. It was clearly
not the Chinese sand pear, as Mr. LeConte had
thought. The fruit was smooth-skinned, tiavorous
und fine fibred, while the saml pear is rough coated,
coarse and . tough. The tree was graceful and
(Muted Mgrv much like a Lombardy poplar, the
brandies shooting straight up, while the sand {tear
tree is more like an ordinary pear tree. It was of
the same family os the sand pear, for it would re-
pnftucc itself from cuttings, n peculiarity of the
sanU pear—but it was a sand pear crossed on some
other pear.
“I took a fancy to the fruit, and when I
came . to Thomas county to superintend
this place, which then belonged to my brother, R.
A. Vamcdoe, I brought some cuttings from the tree.
I planted these, and those superb trees there are the
result. The extra quality of the fruit attracted at
tention. 1 he fact that none of the trees had ever
blighted, that they were handsome, hardy and pro
lific, soon led others to buy. Then began my tri
umph."
“You sold the cuttings?”
"Yes, str; by the thousands. 1 sold from one
quarter of an acre, in one season, $2,396 worth of
cuttings to Mr. Blacksltear there at Cl apiece."
“Yes," said Mr, Blackshcar, “and that quarter
acre that year made more money than any acre in
the state. I resold many of the cuttings at S3
apiece.”. .
“The cuttings,” said Mr.Vamedoe.‘‘sold rapidly,
and 1 netted 312,000 on them in a very few years. I
now have over 145,000 set out for the trade next
treat. 1 am already taking orders for fall delivery,
mid have thousands engaged already. The p ice
has fallen now, and runs from SO to 50 cents a
piece.”
“What about the sale of fruit?”
“That is very profitable. I cleared over WW) from
twelve trees in one season, and will do it every sea
son. The pears sell at from $2.50 to $6 a crate, which
is 7k of a bushel, or about ninety pears. I can net
$2 a bushel on all I could send to market. Of course
I frequently get as high ns $8 a crate, and I have sold
at SIG a crate. Bat $2 is a safe average. Some of
my trees bear twenty-five bushels to the tree, and
will do that year after year. But fifteen bushels to
the tree is what a thousand trees would average.
They are planted seventy trees to the acre.
So that 1,000 bushels to the acre
may be counted on. At C2 a bushel
this gives $2,000 to the acre. I know this sounds
extravagant but it is the lowest estimate you will
get from any man who knows. For example,
these twelve trees in my yard here give me $400
profit and will do it this year. Last year with five
frosts on the bloom they cleared me $200. I can
show my books on that, season after season,
have in my orchard, scores of trees that will be as
good as these In a year or two. What they will do
the luture must tell. But what these twelve grown
trees have done I can swear to. The old tree in
Liberty has done better than any one of these.
THE WORK OP A WANDERING BEE.
“But now, Mr. Vamcdoe, since these trees have
done so well hero, why did not the trees left in the
nursery from which Mr. LeConte got the original
seedling do as well?”
’•Now, sir, comes the point. You have heard of
the hybridization of flowers? I do not mean by
grafting, which is the work of man, but by the
chance of drifting pollen. Y'ou know that the pol
len of one flower adhering to the foot of a bee, who
is-rifling its sweets, and planted in the heart of
another to which he flics, that he may finish his
feast,will give to the second flower something of the
nature of the first. In other words. It will hybridize
it. Now this is the way the LeConte pear came.
The pollen of one pear blossom which
grew on a sand Pear tree in l’rince’s nursery was
mixed by chance with the pollen of another. The
hybrid slower, combining the qualities of two dis
tinct flowers, fruited and becomes a pear. From
that one pear a seedling was grown. That one seed-
ling was brought by Mr. LeConte to Georgia, who
was all-ignorant of the hybridization, and thought
it was a Chinese sand pear seedling, as it had grown
from the seed of a sand pear.”
"Do you mean to say that you believe a wander
jjg bee. toying with this pear blossom, and that
a nursery, carried from one tree to another on his
heavy, unthinking feet, the qualities that combined
by chance, have made the perfect pear for which
the world has been looking for centuries? That
this drowsy and Inconstant bee. in very wanton
ness, made the rare .admixture toward which sci
ence had been groping and grafting for a hundred
years, and that in this bee’s half holiday there
came the triumph of which the world
had despaired? That only one seedling
grew of this flower, which held within its petals,
all -unconscious and all unknown, the hope and
flavor of coming ages? That this seedling was sold
to a stranger by the nurseryman, as Aladdin sold
bis lamp In the days of old? That the stranger,
never dreaming that In the body of the slender
switch he held so patiently through 2,000 miles of
travel, there was kindling the pulses of a tree to be
worth its weight in gold, carried it to an out-of-the-
way aunt, aud tossing it into her lap, commended
it to her as a twig of inferior pedigree and promise?
That this despised seedling was nevertheless plan
ted, survived the chances of the untried alchemy
that sent the commingled sap of twospeciesthrough
its fiber, outlived the neglect induced by a four
year’s war, and escaped the malevolence of an In
vading army that despoiled the farm on which
it grew? And that you, after yon had
laid off the harness cf war. was drawn back to this
solitary tree, under, perhaps,the beneficence of the
same divine authority that led the wise men of the
cast to set their faces against the dawn and march
away towards the morning star? .Do you believe
that the LeConte pear is the outcome of that oft-
repeated miracle of honey-hunting, alchemy, war,
travel and providence
“Believe it?” shouted Mr. Vamcdoe, who had,
with increasing impatience, waited forme to finish
"I’ll swear to it! I don’t swear to the bee, for it
may have been the wind. But I will swear that it
was one or the other. Why not ? Here we have a
perfect pear, perfectly distinct from all other pears,
Look at that orchard. There are a dozen different
species, all planted at once. See how the LeContes
stand out, from thiee to five times as large us the
others. It has a sand-pear basis. On 'this
basis are imbedded the qualities of many other
pears. While it has some characteristics of each
basis perfectly distinct from either, it is clearly a
hybrid. Jt is a chance hybrid, for the buyer and
seller both thought it was a pure, sand pear
seedliug. It is the best hybrid known for it is proof
against blight, the Inexorable fate of other
pear trees. It is a rapid grower, a free fruiter, re
produces itself from cuttings, and is, in short, the
perfect pear!”
Mr. Blackshcar, who has been very active in de
veloping the LeConte interest and who has made
money out of it. said:
’There are two sources of profit'in the LeConte
pear orchard. One is the sale of fruit, the other is
the sale of cuttings. We have hurdly tested the
first yet. There are'only about fifty trees in fair
bearing. These have yielded from 10 to SO bushels
to the tree. We think the trees will average 10 to 15
bushels. The pears have commanded an average
of $3.50 a bushel. This price will be reduced as the
supply increases. We shipped probably 1,000 bush
els lust year. As there are thousands of young trees
corning in every year, the shipments will be in
creased to 10,000 bushels this year, and double that
for the next Mr. Mitchell, who has just set out an
orchurd of 20 acres, says he has based Ills calcula
tions on 25 cents a bushel for his pears. This will
give him $250 to the acre. The price will never go
that low, I think; but even that is a fine profit.”
“When do the trees commence to bear?”
“My two year olds are blooming. They will be
gin to give a bushel or two of fruit the fourth year.
I do not think they get their maturity till they are
twelve years old. The biggest yield wo know of
come from the oldest tree."
“What about the sale of cuttings?”
“That has been the big profit with us. The Le
Conte reproduces itself from a cutting. Yon can
cut offa twig from the tree, stick itinto the ground,
and it wJU'grow. These cuttings sell for four cents
apiece. Mr. Sanford cut $25 front one tree this year.
Those four old trees there saved Varncdoo. He sold
enough cuttings and fruit from them to support
him, plant his orchards and meet his payments on
his place. He has laid up thousands of dollars,and
his place could not be bought for $25,000. Many
people do not sell the cuttings at four cents, but sot
them out, sticking them in rows as thick as poss.
When these sticks take rout they are known as root
lets, and they then command 40 cents each. They
used to bring a dollar and even mare. Of the cut
tings put out probably one-third on an average take
root. The others die. Some, men get more than a
third, some less.- Its a new business and we have
nut yet got it down line. I have cut 65,000 cuttings
this year from which I expect to get surely 15,000
rootlets that 1 will sell at front 30 to 40 cents each.”
“Where do you sell these rootlets?”
“Oh, everywhere. 1 sent 200 to a man in Texas
last year. They go north and south. We have
expected the demand to decrease bat it was more
active last year than formerly.”
“Is it settled yet whether they will do In higher
latitudes?” :
“Not certainly; I think. I see no reason why
they should not. Wc have good reports from cvety
section up to date and will know positively in a
season or two. It matters very little to us. If the
trees thrive elsewhere we have the nursery from
which the world will get its cuttings. If it will
not thrive elsewhere we have a monopoly of the
best fmit in the market. It suits us cither way.”
“What about the blight?”
“I think the LeConte is proof against it. Of the
fifty trees ranging from ten to twenty-five years of
age not one has the slightest sign of blight. Of the
thousands of trees in this county from two to ten
years of age, not one shows it. Every tree is healthy.
Other varieties planted all around them, die with
blight, or grow not half as fast. In a mixed orchard
the LeContes can bo distinguished by their great
size, glossy foliage, and lusty look as far as they can
be seen."
“But the blight may strike them?”
“Certainly. It may come any day. It will be a
calamity if it docs. I do not believe it will. I thing
trees blight because the root cannot throw up suffi
cient sap to nourish the heavy top. The LeConte
sends its root deeper than any other pear, and the
bright appearance of the tree, its enormous yield,
and the uniform health of every tree now growing
shows that it furnishes abundant sap. To show that
the root of the LeConte is its safety, a LeConte cut
ting, grafted on any other root will blight almost
certainly. No LeConte cutting set on a LeConte
root has ever blighted.
know it Is held that all pears must blight, but
the LeConte never Iras,and I don’t think ever will.
If it does not it will make immense fortunes.
“Is it a fine flavored pear?”
“It is not the best. The Sefcei, which is a small
pear, surpasses it in flavor. S<> docs the Duchess
and to many tastes, the Bartlett. It is a splendid
fruit, however. Its flesh is sweet and juicy, and will
melt in your mouth. There is more of the ‘woodi
ness' about the core, that is the fault of the Cali
fornia near. Indeed It has very little core. It is a
tine shipper. It has a firm skin tbatdoes not break
or speck easily. On the stands It wil. outsell anv
other pear, from its handsome appearance, aud
none but experts can note the lack of perfect flavor.
We have perfect confidence in it. and hundreds of
acres are put down annually in orchards.
This, then, is the situation!
It looks too bright to be entirely real, and vet It
is bard to see where it lacks substance. The price
will dediue, doubtless—but at the average yield,
estimated from the fifty trees now bearing—twenty-
five cents a bushel will pay $250 an acre. Half that
would be enough. The coming trees mav not be as

BEFORE THE GRAND JFRY.
Baron Huddleston was also on the bench.
Sir George Browyer is foreman of the grand
jury. The grand jury returned a true bill for
high treason against the prisoner, who was at
once placed in the dock. He looked pale
and haggard. He pleaded not guilty in a firm
but low voice.
THE PROSECUTION OPENED.
Sir Henry James, attorney general, opened
the case for the prosecution. He said it was
a very aggravated one. The jury had a grave
responsibility in determining the condition
of the prisoner’s mind at the time lie com
mitted the crime.
THE DEFENSE OF INSANITY.
Montagne Williams, opening for the pris
oner, made insanity the ground of defense.
He said it could be sliown that Maclean had
had a homicidal mania for many years, and
had imagined that the English people were
against him, and also that it could be proved
that Maclean had been confined in
an asylum. The superintendents of
the Salisbury and the Broadmoor
asylums testified to Maclean’s insanity. : They
said they believed him incapable of apprecia
ting the nature or-qualitv of any of his acts.
Williams asked for tiie acquittal of the pris
oner on the ground of insanity. Lord Chief-
Justice Coleridge .summed up the ease. The
jury returned a verdict of not guilty on the
ground of insanity.
