Narrative

Originated at Foussiers, France, 1825. Apparently a chance seedling. Fruit resembles that of Beurre Clairgeau in size, form, and coloration. Flesh yellowish, granular at the center, melting, very juicy. Vinous, aromatic flavor. Rates among the best of the early pears in dessert quality. Fruit holds up well considering it's season. Tree reasonably vigorous, open in habit, fairly productive. Moderately susceptible to blight. -- H. Hartman, Oregon Ag. Experiment Station, 1957.

We believe this is the best of the summer pears. Medium in size, light green turning pale yellow with a pink blush, it has a delicious refreshing flavor and crisp tender and juicy flesh. Ripe for picking the first week of Autust and for eatiing the week following. It is an old French pear which is hardy and fruitful as grown here. -- Robert Nitschke, Southmeadow Fruit Gardens Catalog, 1976.

Cold hardy; successfully fruited in Anchorage, Alaska. -- Paul Lariviere, 2006.
