Mesure Jean Doré

Octo 5. 1810  [sketch of pear]

The Mesure Jean is above the midling size.
The skin is rough yellow mixed with Russet. The
flesh coarse juicy and sprightly, with a very
agreeable flavor.  It ripens about the beginning
to the middle of October. It sometimes becomes a
bright yellow and hence obtains the
name of the Mesure Jean doré
