Author: H.C. Barrett

Abstract:
High quality dessert pear varieties
are seldom grown by fruit gardeners
of the Midwest.
Some reasons that
may account for this are lack of information
on varieties, difficulty of
obtaining choice varieties and suitable
stocks from commercial. sources, and
the critical problems associated with
fire blight susceptibility.
The finest dessert pears can be
grown successfully, in home gardens
at least, if the grower is prepared to
deal with the major problem of pear
culture, fire blight.
This disease is
such a formidable challenge, that
thorough control measures must be
regarded as essential to successful
pear culture.
