英语词汇bartlett pear的起源、历史背景-英语词源词典

Bartlett pear; Seckel pear. The yellow Bartlett grown com- mercially mostly in Oregon and Washington, where it is less susceptible to blight than in the East, represents 70 percent of the country’s 713,000-ton crop and is certainly America’s most commonly grown pear. It is a soft European-type fruit, in sea- son from July to November, as opposed to earlier hard Asian varieties like the Seckel, which is named for the Philadelphia farmer who first grew it in America just after the Revolution. The Bartlett was not, in fact, developed by Enoch Bartlett (1779–1860), a merchant in Dorchester, Massachusetts, as is generally believed. Bartlett only promoted the fruit after Cap- tain Thomas Brewer imported the trees from England and grew them on his Roxbury farm. The enterprising Yankee eventually purchased Brewer’s farm and distributed the pears under his own name in the early 1800s. They had been long known in Eu- rope as Williams or William Bon Chrétien pears. Bartletts, by any name, are one of the most delicious of the over 3,000 pear species, and pears have been one of man’s favorite fruits from as early as 1000 b.c.
