I have recently planted Luscious and Patten pear trees, but I am looking for a third variety to plant since Luscious is pollen sterile.  Are there any suggestions for a good eating and especially canning pear for zone 3b/4a?  I was originally looking at a Seckel, but I I've been reading conflicting reports on its hardiness.  Has anyone sucessfully grown them in zone 3b or 4a?
Lately I've been leaning toward planting a Southworth or Nova...does anyone have any experience with them or potentially another kind that may have overlooked?
 
Thanks,
