Narrative

First known in Europe under the name of Perle. Apparently there is no authentic record of the origin of this variety. According to Leroy it was well known in French gardens as early as the middle of the sixteenth century. Fruit very small in size, usually obtuse-pyriform but quite variable in shape. Skin clear, straw-colored, waxy, few green dots. Flesh moderately fine, firm, not juicy. Sweet but lacking in desirable flavor and texture characteristics. Early in season. Tree very vigorous, stately, lusty green foliage, fairly productive, semi-dwarf on quince. Moderately susceptible to fire blight.
