Cole's Coreless

A new pear, originated on grounds of E. Eicholtz, Detroit, Kansas. Tree is a vigorous grower in nursery, earlier than the Kieffer, resembling the Clapp's Favorite in color of wood and appearance. It is said to be a very young and annual bearer. The great peculiarity of this pear is that it has no core whatever, and is practically seedless. The leathery carpels which surround the seeds in ordinary pears and apples are entirely absent. Embedded in the flesh, at the center, are only a few empty and shriveled shells of seeds. Quality of fruit good to best; size medium to large; color bright yellow when fully ripe. Season September to November. It is certainly an interesting novelty, and is worthy of a place in every collection.
