Note on source completeness: This description is drawn from a single citation in Hedrick's The Pears of New York (1921), which itself references only Guide Pratique (1876). The historical source does not include details on tree habit, bark, twigs, buds, leaves, specific flavor characteristics beyond juiciness, uses, or any documented subtypes. Additional identification details (such as cavity and basin structure, dot patterns, seed count/form, or wood characteristics) would require consultation of the original Guide Pratique or other period pomologies.
