The original tree of the Kieffer pear was grown by Peter Kieffer near Philadelphia, Pennsylvania; it fruited first in 1863 and soon became widely distributed. The tree is vigorous, very productive, and more resistant to blight and insect attack than most varieties, which accounts for its predominance in farm and home orchards. The fruit is large and attractive, but has acquired a reputation of being very poor in quality. Because of the presence of pear blight, it is important that the very best methods of handling and using the fruit should be more widely know. This bulletin presents information to obtain the maximum quality in fresh fruit and preserved products.
