Note on source: This is an abbreviated historical entry from Hedrick (1921). The original description provides limited detail on tree characteristics, flesh quality, flavor specifics, and storage behavior—typical of early 20th-century pomological summaries. The description is coherent and consistent with period pear nomenclature, but lacks the comprehensive measurements and sensory details found in more extensive variety monographs.
