Tanis:

I noticed your posting on cold hardy pear varieties.  You may have long ago since done this, but have you contacted Bill MacKentley at St. Lawrence Nurseries to get his feedback?   If you have, terrific.  If you haven't, he would be one person I'd definitely contact.  His list of pears hardy to Zone 3 (and colder in some instances) can be found here:

I hope this is of some help.

Is it time for another discussion of which pear cultivars are doing well or
at least surviving in zone 4? 3?  Cold hardiness and disease tolerance.
Here's a list I'm curious about:

Blake's Pride
Dave's Delight
Harrow Delight
Hudar
Madame Boutant
Marie Louise
Marie Louise d'Ucele
Merricourt
Moonglow
Phileson
Pioneer 3
Reimer Red
Rescue
Seckel
Southworth
Tait Dropmore
