Cultivation

Origin: in State College, Pa., by E.L. Nixon, Pennsylvania Agr. Expt. Sta. Introd. in 1927. Probably an open-pollinated seedling of Kieffer; selected in 1924. Tree: practically immune to fire blight; vigorous; self-unfruitful, productive when properly cross­pollinated. Named in honor of Richard Peters, founder and former president of Philadelphia Society for Promoting Agriculture. Fruit: quality better than Bartlett, which it resembles; ripens early.
