Pears are Canada's second most
important fruit crop, with the Bartlett pear ranking number one. It
adapts easily to various soils and climates, bearing fruit annually
despite frost. Of excellent quality, it is preferred pear for canning.
The Bartlett pear was discovered in England and brought to Massachusetts
around 1800. In 1817, the original farm was bought by Enoch Bartlett, and
not knowing the pear's name, gave it his own.
