New French Pear Variety Promises Orchard Revolution

From London Gardener's Chronicle comes word of a new French pear dubbed Roosevelt by pomologist Charles Ballet of Troyes. Described as robust and productive on standard or dwarf quince rootstock, the fruit grows very large, with pale white flesh and sweet flavor. Ripening September to November in northern France, it’s touted to revolutionize fruit gardens and orchards, with Ballet backing years of tests and a strong reputation to urge trials. The piece also surveys American crop yields for 1906, listing corn, wheat, oats, rye, barley, potatoes, apples, and livestock values, highlighting total dairy and cattle worth and projecting future egg production.
