It is rare to find a new fruit which has created the interest and 
enthusiasm accorded the announcement of the new Devoe Pear. 
The Devoe Pear was found some 25 years ago on the farm of Mr. 
Charles Greiner, Marlboro, N. Y., as a chance seedling. Being attracted 
to the healthy appearance of the foliage and sturdy wood of the little 
tree he waited and watched for it to come into fruiting age. Much to 
his delight it bore at the age of 3 years, producing a fine large type 
fruit, shaped much like Buerre Bosc, having a fine smooth skin which 
as the fruit ripened, turned from green to light yellow, with an attrac- 
tive red cheek. It was found to have superb quality and a delightful 
pear taste, the flesh is white, firm and lacks grit cells. It is very juicy 
and sweet. Tests covering several years proved it to be a long keeper 
and may be kept in cold storage until February if desired. Its season 
is late September. Very resistant to pear Psylla. 
The tree is a rapid grower, upright in habit, wood is whippy and 
bears fruit load without breakage. So far it has not shown itself 
subject to blight even under southern conditions. We recommend the 
Devoe Pear for trial in all pear growing sections. Devoe has passed 
the experimental period. ITS A REALITY. PLANT DEVOE PEAR
