Note on Source: This description derives from U.P. Hedrick's The Pears of New York (1921) and is sparse on technical details. The original source does not describe cavity, calyx, basin, stem, core, or tree characteristics. The variety name, form, color, and flesh character are clear, but additional identifying details from other sources would strengthen identification.
