Narrative

Fruit medium to large in size and resembles Doyenne du Comice in form. Skin rather tough, golden yellow in color, often blushed, somewhat susceptible to limb marks, usually quite attractive. Flesh tender, juicy, fairly fine, some grit at the center. Rich, sweet, vinous floavor whtn properly handled. Late keeper, ripens slowly and has a long shelf life. Requires long period in cold storage to insure proper ripening. Rates among the best of the late keeping pears but needs a long and hot growing season to properly mature. Tree vigorous, fairly productive, strong, wide spreading, healthy foliage. Moderately susceptible to fire blight. -- H. Hartman, Oregon Ag. Experiment Station, 1957.

Duchesse de Bordeaux (synonym = Beurre Perrault). -M. Secher, in the Commune of Montjean, Dept. of Maine-et-Loire, France, bought in 1850 from M. Perrault, Montrevault, some pear trees. Ten years passed away and then one of the trees produced the excellent fruit here described. M. Secher invited many persons to taste it, in particular M. Perrault and Baptiste Desportes. Later the variety fruited with M. Perrault and was named by him Beurre Perrault. Secher affirmed he had properly given the variety the name of Duchesse de Bordeaux. Tree large, vigorous, upright. Fruit large, roundish-pyriform; skin thick, very tough, rough, greenish-yellow, with mottlings and patches of russet; stem rather long, thick, set in a moderately deep, acute cavity; calyx large, open, placed in a moderately deep basin; flesh yellowish-white, firm, granular, juicy, mild; good; Nov. and Dec. -- U.P. Hedrick, The Pears of New York, 1921 --
