The Windsor is an old European pear, very commonly known 
in some parts of this country, as the Summer Bell pear. It is, 
however, only a cooking fruit. The tree is remarkable for its 
stout, perfectly upright dark-brown shoots. 
Fruit large, pyriform, or bell-shaped, widest above the middle, 
narrowing to the eye. Skin yellowish-green. Flesh white, 
tender, or soft, coarse-grained, with a somewhat astringent 
juice. Rots at the core. Last of August.
