The combined role played by the fungi (moulds and yeasts) involve in the natural fermentation of the Pear mesocarp were also investigated. Fresh and ripe pears were washed and surface sterilized with ethanol. The mesocarp was then scraped into a bowl and covered with a net to allow the action of aerobic fermentation for 50 days. Fungi were isolated from the samples at interval of 5 days. The morphological, microscopic and biochemical characteristics as well as the fungal count were also carried out according to standard methods. The physicochemical parameters of the pear’s mesocarp such as pH, total titrable acidity (TTA), moisture contents and total reducing sugar were also determined at every 5 days according to standard methods. The results showed that there were eight strains of mould namely: Aspergillus niger, Aspergillus flavus, Aspergillus oryzae, Aspergillus fumigatus, Mucor mucedo, Penicillum frequentas, Penicillum chrysogemun and Fusarium solani; and three strains of yeasts namely Saccharomyces cerivisae, Schizoaccharomyces pombe and Saccharomyces ludwigii were identified to be involved in the fermentation process for the fifty days.

To me, and I doubt not to many of my generation, it was a great privilege to have known, for so long a period, my grandfather, William Putnam Endicott; my grandmother, Mrs. George Peabody; and my great-aunts, Mrs. Augustus Perry and Mrs. Francis Peabody. As I think of them I seem to see in my mind's eye people of dignity of character; of general cultivation; of extreme reticence; and ofgreat personal charm and beauty. They lived in a small community and all their interests were of necessity more or less centered around their homes. I am sure they represented what was best in the life of New England and set high ideals for those among whom they lived.

Ancestors spotlight The Endicott Contribution in the War of 1812 It is my hope that all of you will take the time to read this short synopsis of the Endicott family and its contributions during the War of 1812. As Gordon has been reporting, our theme at the 2008 Reunion in New Harmony, Indiana will be our family connections with the War of 1812, and we will be dedicating a memorial stone honoring those who participated during the War at the Poseyville cemetery – the same location where we dedicated the Thomas Endicott (1737-1831) monument in 2006. I hope that this will spur your interest in coming this year. The War of 1812 is not very well known and often passed over in studies of American history. It was our second war with Great Britain who, among other things, burned the White House. In recent years, a renovation went on at the White House and when they removed the seventeen layers of paint, the residue of smoke and suet were still there.

This is an open access article distributed under the Creative Commons Attribution License, which permits unrestricted use, distribution, and reproduction in any medium, provided the original work is properly cited. The pear (Pyrus communis L.) is a typical fruit of temperate regions, having its origin and domestication at two different points, China and Asia Minor until the Middle East. It is the fifth most widely produced fruit in the world, being produced mainly in China, Europe, and the United States. Pear belongs to rosaceous family, being a close “cousin” of the apple, but with some particularities that make this fruit special with a delicate flavor. Thus, it deserves a special attention and a meticulous review of all the history involved, and the recent research devoted to it, because of the economic and cultural importance of this fruit in a range of countries and cultures. Therefore, the purpose of this literature review is to approach the history of the origin, domestication, and dispersal of pears, as well as reporting their botany, their current scenario in the world, and their breeding and conservation.

  • The Rise and Fall of the Ornamental Callery Pear Tree
    The Rise and Fall of the Ornamental Callery Pear Tree Theresa M. Culley ne of the most notable heralds of spring in the eastern United States Ois the profuse blooming of orna- mental pear trees in front yards and along ARCHIVES OF THE ARNOLD ARBORETUM city streets. The Callery pear (Pyrus calleryana), and particularly its many cultivars such as ‘Bradford’, ‘Cleveland Select’, and ‘Aristocrat’, has become one of the most popular ornamental trees in North America. However, its commercial success has now become overshadowed by its tendency to spread along roadways and into natural areas through reseeding. Today this tree is considered invasive in many states, in stark contrast to how it grows in its native range in Asia. How did this tree become the scourge of land man- agers across North America? What has led to its fall from grace? To understand this fascinating story, we need to start at the beginning. Seeds From China Plant collector Frank N. Meyer in China in 1908.

Accepted 25 June, 2012 Aroma is an important fruit sensory attributes that is influenced by the volatile compounds present in the fruit, and it determines whether a fruit is acceptable to consumers. The volatile compounds in 11 pear cultivars from different species were investigated by headspace solid phase microextraction and gas chromatography-mass spectrometry. In total, 70 volatile compounds, including three alcohols, six aldehydes, fifty-two esters, three acids, three terpenes and three ketones were identified and quantified. Ester was the dominant chemical class of which a total of 52 compounds were detected. Hexanal, hexyl acetate, ethyl hexanoate, ethyl 2-methylbutanoate and ethyl butanoate were the major volatile compounds. Pyrus ussuriensis Maxim showed a higher concentration of volatiles, and higher ester content than in the other Asian pear species studied. Cultivars were clearly grouped into four clusters based on the concentration and number of different volatile compounds present in each cultivar. The clusters of different cultivars could be discriminated from each others using the first two principal components. The volatile profiles of the pears were qualitatively and quantitatively influenced by the cultivar.

Sanford, Jr. MILITARY BACKGROUND IN THE OLD WORLD In his book, ―John Winthrop: America‘s Forgotten Founding Father,‖ the author, Francis J. Bremer, asserts the following. ―Historians have agreed that ENDECOTT had some European military experience, and the nature of the (Pequot) campaign suggests that he may have fought in England‘s Irish Wars.‖ Henry VIII was declared King of Ireland in 1530 and the next sixty years was spent in repressing the residents of that land. This became more difficult during the Anglo-Spanish War (1585-1604) that was started by the English when they intruded into Spanish Netherlands that led to memorable sea battles which included the defeat of the Spanish Armada in 1588. During the war, the Spanish meddled in the affairs of Ireland and the English were in conflict with them until the signing of the treaty in 1604 that ended English actions in 1 the Spanish Netherlands and Spain‘s support for dissidents in Ireland.

  • Southern Plant Lists
    Southern Plant Lists Southern Garden History Society A Joint Project With The Colonial Williamsburg Foundation September 2000 1 INTRODUCTION Plants are the major component of any garden, and it is paramount to understanding the history of gardens and gardening to know the history of plants. For those interested in the garden history of the American south, the provenance of plants in our gardens is a continuing challenge. A number of years ago the Southern Garden History Society set out to create a ‘southern plant list’ featuring the dates of introduction of plants into horticulture in the South. This proved to be a daunting task, as the date of introduction of a plant into gardens along the eastern seaboard of the Middle Atlantic States was different than the date of introduction along the Gulf Coast, or the Southern Highlands. To complicate maters, a plant native to the Mississippi River valley might be brought in to a New Orleans gardens many years before it found its way into a Virginia garden. A more logical project seemed to be to assemble a broad array plant lists, with lists from each geographic region and across the spectrum of time. The project’s purpose is to bring together in one place a base of information, a data base, if you will, that will allow those interested in old gardens to determine the plants available and popular in the different regions at certain times. This manual is the fruition of a joint undertaking between the Southern Garden History Society and the Colonial Williamsburg Foundation. In choosing lists to be included, I have been rather ruthless in expecting that the lists be specific to a place and a time.

  • Progress in Pear Improvement
    PROGRESS IN PEAR IMPROVEMENT J. R. MAGNESS, Principal Pomologist, Division of Fruit and Vegetable Crops and Diseases, Bureau of Plant Industry X HE pear, like the apple, first came to us from western Asia by way of European countries. Its history in Europe closely parallels that of the apple. Apparently indigenous in the region from the Caspian Sea westward into Europe, whence so many of our fruits came, the pear was doubtless used as food long before agriculture was developed as an industry. ^ Hedrick, in the Pears of New York, gives an excellent summary of its history and development during the last 3,000 years. Nearly 1,000 years before the Christian Era, Homer listed pears as one of the fruits in the garden of Alcinous, thus indicating that they were known to the Greeks of his day. Prior to the Christian Era at least a few varieties were known. Theophrastus (370-286 B. C.) mentioned both wild pears and cultivated named varieties and de- scribed grafting. Pliny, of ancient Rome, named more than 40 varieties. With the migrations of the Romans the pear was distrib- uted throughout temperate Europe. At the time of the discovery of North America, a number of varieties were known in Italy, France, Germany, and England, but there was little progress in the culture of the pear, at least as far as is known, from the early Christian Era until about the beginning of the sixteenth century. During the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, there was a tre- mendous interest in pear breeding and improvement, particularly in Belgium and France.
