Narrative

Originated as a chance seedling with B.O. Curtiss, at Paris, Illinois. Apparently a pure form of P. communis. While Old Home is of no consequence from the standpoint of its fruit, the variety is important because of other characteristics. The tree, which is vigoros and well formed, has proven highly resistant to blight in tests at the Southern Oregon Branch Experiment Station. It is now widely used as a blight-resistant trunk and framework stock, and is known to be a very good source of blight-resistant seedlings. When crossed with a variety such as Farmingdale, resulting seedlings are vigorous and uniform in growth and a high percentage are blight resistant. -- H. Hartman, 1957.

From F.S. Howlett, Ohio Agr. Experiment Station, 1957:
Size - small
Shape - round, slightly truncate, neck wanting.
Color - yellowish-green to greenish yellow, yellow when ripe.
Flesh - white to yellow, firm to soft, fine to buttery, tender, mild, medium dry, subacid; stone cells scarce, not objectionable, scattered around core.
Flavor - poor
Harvest date - second week in September.
Notes - Valuable only as blight resistant stock. Flavor and quality of fruit poor. Assumed to be variety of Pyrus communis. Recommended in Ohio as the blight resistant trunk and framework for other pear varieties.
