Having noticed that some 'Magness' pears did not contain a "full" complement of seed, a count of apparently viable seeds was made on some fruits that were being used in other tests in the fall if 1973. A count of 306 fruits showed the following:
24% had no seed and had an average weight of 133 g.
44% had 1 seed and had an average weight of 132 g.
21% had 2 seeds and had an average weight of 135 g.
11% had 3 or more seeds and an average weight of 95 g.
