Mid-season. Fruit small. Skin rich yellowish to red¬ 
dish brown, with a deep brownish red cheek. Flesh very 
fine grained, sweet, juicy and melting. One of the richest 
and highly flavored pears. Used extensively for pickling.

high price. Trees are small when coming from the nursery 
row, and seldom grow as large as other standard varieties.

favorite both for home planting and for commercial or¬ 
chards. One of the most widely planted pears. Trees bear 
full crops year after year. Bears young, lives long and 
makes money for the planter.
