Narrative
Raised in 1947 at National Fruit Trials, Wisley, Surrey from Laxton's Superb x Doyenne du Comice and named in 1967. Fruit medium, short pyriform to round conic; skin light green becoming yellow-green, often with pink blush; russeted at the stem and eye. Flesh creamy white, melting, very fine, juicy, sweet rich flavor with balancing acidity. Excellent Quality!

A favorite pear of Harold Bjornstad, pomology technician for M.N. Westwood.
