Note on source: This description, from U.P. Hedrick's The Pears of New York (1921), is brief and records only essential details. The greenish color, melting flesh, and mid-summer season are distinctive. No subtypes or synonyms are mentioned. The variety appears to have had limited circulation in the United States, as Hedrick does not elaborate further.
