Title: The Tse Li, Tsu Li Dilemma
Author: K. Hummer
Abstract:
An Asian pear called 'Tsu li' in the United
States has a pyriform shape and prominent
lenticels.
In China this pear is pronounced as
"Tse li" with a short vowel sound.
The Chinese
have another high quality pear, more obtuse to
ovate in shape than 'Tse li,' and with less prom
inent lenticels.
This pear is called 'Tsu li.' We are
requesting scionwood of Chinese 'Tsu li' be sent
to the United States.
We need to use the spelling
'Tse li' for the pear that we have so that 'Tsu li'
can refer to the Chinese 'Tsu li.'
