Narrative

Georgia pear - listed as blight sensitive in Dr. van der Zwet's book but has been blight resistent in Houston and in Louisiana. Very pretty, vigorous tree with spreading habit. Comes into production very early and makes large, nice looking pyriform fruits. Porbably about 350 - 400 chill hours. Would be an ideal Southern pear except for one problem - no taste. It has good texture but not much sweetness. Probably would be useful in a breeding program since it has so many good traits. - Received misspelled as 'Spaulding' - should be 'Spalding'
