Pyrus phaeocarpa (Malaceae), 46582. Pear. From 

 Korea. Cuttings collected by Prof. F. C. Reimer, 

 Superintendent, Southern Oregon Experiment Station, 

 Talent. "No. 36. A pear which is used as a rootstock 

 for cultivated pears at Seoul, Korea. This type pro- 

 duces its fruit in clusters of from 3 to 8. The pears 

 are from one-half to three-fourths of an inch in di- 

 ameter, roundish, or short- turbinate in shape, brown 

 or russet in color, and with 3 (or rarely 2 or 4) covered 

 cells or seed cavities. The trees which I saw were 

 still young and from 6 to 12 feet high. The young 

 shoots are densely pubescent. The leaves are of medium 

 size and the margins are crenate or bluntly serrate. 

 These trees had evidently grown up from the rootstock 

 of some cultivated varieties of pears. Of no value 

 except possibly as stock in this country." (Reimer.)

 Korea. It is a large, russet pear, and distinctly 

 ovoid in shape. The fruit ripens late in the fall, 

 and in the early winter it is in the best condition to 

 be eaten. In quality it ranks with the best Japanese 

 pears . " (Reimer. )

 It is a very large pear, oblong or oblong-elliptical 

 in shape, and of a bright russet color. The tree is 

 very vigorous and productive. It should be thoroughly 

 tested in this country especially for blight-resistance."
