Narrative

Obtained about 1894 by herr Muller, gardener to the King of Wurtemberg. Fruit very large in size and resembles Doyenne du Comice in form. Skin tough, glossy, deep golden yellow in color, usually blushed with bright crimson, subject to blemishes but usually attractive and striking in appearance. Flesh granular or coarse, firm, large grit cells at center, not juicy. Somewhat bitter in taste, low in dessert quality. Late midseason. Tree vigorous, thrifty, fairly productive, almost a standard on quince. Moderate susceptibility to fire blight. -- H. Hartman 1957.
