Narrative

A small, unattractive, roundish pear with green color and heavy overlay of russet. Flesh fairly fine but gritty at the center, melting, and very juicy. Sweet vinous flavor similar to that of Louis Pasteur. Rates rather high in dessert quality. Late keeper, inclined to wilt in storage. Tree reasonably vigorous, good foliage, fairly productive, true dwarf on quince. Moderately susceptible to blight. Synonym listed by Ragan: Maria Lesueur. -- H. Hartman, 1957.
