Narrative
Apparently a chance seedling found in a garden at Tourcoing, France, during the early part of the 19th century. Fruit large in size and resembles Beurre d'Anjou in form. Skin greenish-yellow, fairly attractive but bruises and discolors quickly in the ripe stage. Flesh white, fine melting, very juicy. Perfumed, pleasing flavor but obviously too soft in texture to withstand commercial handling. Fairly early in season. Tree remarkably vigorous, upright, stately, productive, with lusty, dark green foliage. Moderately susceptible to blight. - H. Hartman, 1957
