From all accounts this variety was known long before Merlet mentioned it in 1667 

 but its exact origin cannot be learned. According to Leroy it seems at one time to have 

 been called Peche du Chevalier but this name was permanently replaced by the present 

 one about 1789 — applied because of the unique shape of the fruit. In 1856 the American 

 Pomological Society added the variety to its fruit-list but dropped it in 1862. Tree of 

 moderate vigor and productiveness; leaves crenate, with globose glands; flowers small, 

 pale red; fruit large, roundish, inclinging to oblong, with a deep suture on one side; apex 

 terminated by a broad, prominent, obtuse nipple; skin pale greenish-yellow, marbled 

 with deep red in the sun; flesh greenish-white, faintly tinged with red at the pit, juicy, 

 melting, sweet, having an excellent flavor; stone large, oval, free; season the last of 

 September.
