Also, for those growing pears in cold climate, you may have heard of a cultivar named "Savignac": yes, this is from the same Brother Armand Savignac, from Clerics of Saint Viator, Joliette. If I remember correctly, he received few pear grafts for trial from Ottawa, and one was well adapted to our cold climate and is now known as "Savignac pear". He was growing a lot of fruits (grapes, currants, plums, apples, ...) and vegetables.
