Narrative

This old French sort is sparingly grown in New York, and is still listed by a few American nurserymen. The pears are handsome and very good in quality, but they quickly soften at the center and neither keep nor ship well. While usually of medium size, or sometimes large, the pears often run small. The variety is well worth planting in a collection, but has no value in a commercial plantation, and there are many better sorts for home orchards. The parent tree of this variety grew in the seed beds of M. Andre Leroy, the well-known authority on pomology, at Angers, France. M. Leroy obtained it in 1854 from pips of Williams Bon Chretien, or as it is better known here, Bartlett pear. He named it after the son of M. Babtiste Desportes, manager of the business department of his establishment. The vigor and high quality of the fruit were quickly appreciated and the variety was soon disseminated far and wide. Fruit ripe in August. -- U.P. Hedrick. 1921. The Pears of New York.
