Narrative

From the seed beds of M. Fourasse and introduced by M. Baltet of Troyes, France, about 1894. Fruit resembles that of Beurre Hardy in size, form and coloration but it is obviously a distinct variety. Flesh moderately fine. buttery and juicy but firmer in texture than Beurre Hardy. Sweet, pleasing flavor but lacks dessert quality. Midseason. Tree of medium vigor, productive, true dwarf on quince. Moderately susceptible to fire blight. -- H. Hartman, Oregon Agricultural Experiment Station, 1957
