Narrative

Originated as a chance seedling in the Department of Loire et Cher, France, 1866. Fruit resembles that of Buerre d'Anjou in size and form. Skin smooth, quite free of blemish, green-yellow with green dots, quite attractive. Flesh white, medium fine, buttery, juicy. Sweet with pleasing flavor, equal or superior to Buerre d'Anjou in dessert quality. Apparently keeps as long as Anjou in cold storage, ripens easily and retains it's quality for some time afterwards. Somewhat softer than Anjou in texture and more susceptible to pressure bruises. Tree moderately vigorous, clean, and productive. Semi-dwarf on quince. Moderately susceptible to blight. -- H. Hartman, Oregon Agricultural Experiment Station, 1957.
