Raised by M. J. de Jonghe, Brussels, in 1845 and first produced fruit in 1857. Hogg, the English pomologist, described it as "one of the best very late pears I have met with." Fruit medium, globular-turbinate, greenish-yellow much covered with pale cinnamon-brown russet, distributed in patches, particularly around the stalk and in dots which are interspersed with green dots over the surface; flesh yellowish-white, fine-grained, breaking, sweet, saccharine, wanting in perfume; good for kitchen use and recommended on account of its extraordinarily long season, spring into the summer. =Baudry.= =1.= Budd-Hansen _Am.
