Narrative

Full description and color plate in Hedrick (1921). Originated as a chance seedling found by Charles A. Green, Chautauqua County, New York, about 1884. Added to APS catalog list in 1899. Fruit medium in size, oblong-pyriform in shape. Skin pale green in color, faintly blushed on sunny side. Flesh stringy, buttery but not melting, moderately juicy. Aromatic, pleasing flavor but second rate in dessert quality. Holds up better than most early pears. Tree vigorous, thrifty, somewhat apple-like in appearance, productive, moderately susceptible to fire blight. -- H. Hartman 1957.
