THE NATIONAL NURSERYMAN 
although it has some weaknesses which may cause it not to be 
so well adapted to the upper portions. It blooms early, and in 
the upper portions of the South would probably be in danger from 
early frosts. This pear likes the deep, open, porous soils that 
are found in the Coastal Plains region. It does not do as well in 
the clay soils of the Upper South. 
This variety is a rapid grower and bears early. The trees have 
been known to produce fruit in considerable quantities at from 
three to five years of age. It produces very heavy crops. Often 
8 or 10-year-old trees must be propped up to prevent breaking. 
It has proved to be a most excellent variety for canning pur¬ 
poses, is a good shipper and keeps a long time. 
This pear can hardly be too strongly recommended, provided 
one keeps in mind the weak points along with the strong ones. 
The early blooming habit is its outstanding weak point, but many 
believe this will gradually be overcome and that it will soon be 
the leading variety of pears not only for the Middle and Lower 
South, but fo. Ml sections of the country. Certainly, its blight- 
resisting qualities, its early fruiting, and the heavy crops pro¬ 
cured, make it by all odds the outstandng variety for the Lower 
South. 
Ten-year-old trees of Pineapple pears have been known to 
produce 18 bushels to the tree. One very old and large tree pro¬ 
duced 66 bushels. While these yields are much above the aver¬ 
age, they indicate what may be expected under ideal conditions. 
The original or parent tree of this variety is still healthy and 
sound, and producing large crops. It is located in South Georgia.
