A PEAR THAT GIVES SOME PROMISE OF RESISTANCE TO BLIGHT. 
(PYRUS CALLERYANA. SEE S. P. I. NO. 45687.) 
While no pear has as yet been found thoroughly resistant to pear 
blight, strains of this remarkable Chinese species are showing 
great promise. This fact, coupled with the unusual adaptability 
to habitat already shown, makes this pear of great interest to 
growers. (Photographed by F. N. Meyer at Koomooshu, Hupeh,
