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".

Best I can do.I don't see any seeds available but that doesn't surprise me since so many varieties in the mid to late 1800's quickly disappeared/
When I have time I'll look in my MI State Bulletin of 1939 to see if it's noted there or has been renamed, or whatever. But it still wouldn'tanswer you question about seed availability as I see it.
