Jargonelle (Beau Present, Belle Vierge, Beiirre de Paris, St. Lnmbert, 

 St. Samson, Sweet Summer). A very old and well-known variety of 

 uncertain origin, though probably it first came from France. Fruit 

 medium size or over, long-pyriform, and ripening early in the season. 

 Skin yellowish-green, and sometimes a little reddish-brown on the sunny 

 side. Flesh yellowish-white, very juicy, with a pleasant flavour. Tree 

 vigorous, hardy, and bears very freely. This variety is useful for its 

 earliness, but it decays very quickly, and must be used within two or 

 three days after it is gathered.
