Abstract

F. C. Reimer began the search before 1915 for pear rootstocks and interstocks resistant to fireblight. He made two extensive trips to China for seed from native stands of various Pyrusspecies. From these he introduced to the west coast pear industry, such rootstocks as P. ussuriensis Max., P. pyrifolia(Burm.) Nak., P. calleryanaDecne., and P. betulaefoliaBunge. Also, he (2) selected several P. communis L. cultivars resistant to fireblight which were used as interstocks, such as 'Old Home' and 'Farmingdale'. And, seedlings from the crossing of 'Old Home' x 'Farmingdale' (OH x F) were found to be acceptable pear rootstocks.
