Narrative

Originated as a chance seedling in Westchester County, New York and came to attention in 1835. Added to A.P.S. catalog list in 1862. Fruit medium in size, generally pyriform in shape. Skin greenish-yellow in color, fairly smooth. waxy, few small green dots. Flesh fairly firm, medium fine and not very juicy. Lacking in desirable flavor and texture characteristics. Tree of fair vigor, spreading in habit, small healthy leaves. Moderately susceptible to fire blight. -- H. Hartman, Oregon Agricultural Experiment Station, 1957.

Newtown Vergalieu. We should judge by the name that this pear originated on Long Island; it is of large size, round at the blossom end, tapering to a point at the stem, which is short; the skin of a pale yellow, seldom with a tinge of red ; the flesh is sweet, rather dry, not highly prized as a table fruit, but excellent for baking. It ripens in the early winter months, and its productiveness renders it desirable in an orchard. The tree is crooked and strong in its growth, forming a large spreading head like that of an apple tree. -- R. Manning, The New England Fruit Book, 1844.
