Book Description
Excerpt from Handling and Commercial Utilization of the Kieffer Pear The tree is Vigorous, very productive, and more resistant to blight and insect attack than most varieties, Which accounts for its popularity in farm and home orchards. In the East it has survived Where most other varieties have succumbed to the ravages of pear blight. The fruit is large and attractive and is rather resistant to many of the fungi and insects that attack other pomaceous fruits. However, it has acquired a reputation of being very poor in quality and for this reason is considered by many to be almost worthless. When freshly picked from the tree, the fruit is hard, coarse, and, therefore, rather inferior to many European Varieties in texture. The stone cells are more in evidence than in many Varieties, and it is lacking in flavor. It never ripens on the tree to the soft texture that is desirable in fresh fruit, though in some localities the green color more or less disappears and the skin becomes yellowish, Which gives it the appear ance of being ripe. Even when cooked, it generally does not soften to a product entirely satisfactory in texture. The necessity for proper storage, in order to soften or ripen the fruit, is not always known by many who grow the fruit. As a consequence the fruit is often allowed to go to waste, or at least is poorly utilized. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book Description
The original tree of the Kieffer pear was grown by Peter Kieffer near Philadelphia, Pennsylvania; it fruited first in 1863 and soon became widely distributed. The tree is vigorous, very productive, and more resistant to blight and insect attack than most varieties, which accounts for its predominance in farm and home orchards. The fruit is large and attractive, but has acquired a reputation of being very poor in quality. Because of the presence of pear blight, it is important that the very best methods of handling and using the fruit should be more widely know. This bulletin presents information to obtain the maximum quality in fresh fruit and preserved products.
