Nesbit's Victoria
I see this one referenced in several vegetable gardening books from the 1880's to 1920's.
Ventmarin says "Red pear fruit. Variety quoted in the catalog "Burpee's Farm Annual" 1888." Which sounds just like what I'd like! Is it still available anywhere? I also saw it spelled "Nisbit" and "Nisbett". |
