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.)

"No. 38. Imamura Aki. Obtained at Yokohama, Japan. This

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. )

is considered the very finest pear in Japan and Korea. 
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."
