I don't know that much about pears but we've had Bartletts on various 
properties and they all matured like instantly and we'd have to can like 
crazy or they'd all rot.  I don't know what the neighbor had but they 
matured over a period of about 6 weeks.  If you like just plain eating them, 
then I'd ask around about a pear that ripens over a period of time.
