Narrative
Originated in Converse, Louisiana about 1930. Legend has it that this was an unclaimed, mail order tree planted by a postal worker and named for his wife. It has been widely propagated in Louisiana and Texas and we all agree that it is a very sweet, high quality, dessert pear. The large, apple shaped fruit has a distinct 'shoulder'. It takes a few years to come into full bearing on calleryana. Probably about 400 - 450 chill units. -- E. Natelson.
