Fruit, medium to large, averagingabout 3 x 2J inches ; form, ovate,tapering at both ends, widest atmiddle, and narrowest toward stem :skiu, light golden yellow, with brightcheek, and very numerous brownrusset dots ; stalk, one inch long,fairly stout, in a one-sided cavity ;calyx, half open, in a medium sizedirregular basin. Flesh, yellowish white, half tender,half melting, not very fine, tuicy :flavor, moderately sweet, poor. Season, October, November andDecember to January. Quality, dessert, very poor ; forcooking good ; valuable for canning. Value, second rate for all markets. Adaptation, very hardy.
Text Appearing After Image:
Kieffer Pear—Section. FRUITS OF ONTARIO. PETITE MARGUERITE. Among the desirable varieties of dessert pears for the home garden we would certainlyinclude the Petite Marguerite, a pear of the highest quality for table use. At Maplehurst thetree has proved itself an abundant bearer and a good grower. The fruit is not large, but as sizeis not an object in a dessert pear, this is not a fault. Its season is immediately after the Giffardand just before the Clapp and the Tyson. As a market pear it is hardly to be commended,because of its small size and color ; and it will be a long time before we can convince the aver-age dealer that size and color are not the chief considerations in a fruit. /
