Pear tree

Abstract

A large, vigorous, upright, tall, vase-formed, rapid growing, hardy pear tree which is foliated with large, obovate, abruptly pointed leaves having a crenate, coarsely serrate margin and a medium length petiole, blooms with pink-white fertile flowers, and a regular and very productive bearer of large to medium size, uniform, obovate, symmetrical fruit--of excellent dessert quality--having a thick, smooth, waxen, glossy skin; the skin having a yellow ground color substantially overspread, in maturity of ripening, with a burgundy red, and the flesh being distinctly white.

I claim: 
     
       1. A new and distinct variety of pear tree, substantially as illustrated and described, which is large, vigorous, upright, tall, vase-formed, rapid growing, hardy, foliated with large, obovate, abruptly pointed leaves having a crenate, coarsely serrate margin and a medium length petiole, blooms with pink-white, fertile flowers, and a regular and very productive bearer of large to medium size, uniform, obovate, symmetrical fruit --of excellent dessert quality--having a thick, smooth, waxen, glossy skin; the skin having a yellow ground color substantially overspread, in maturity of ripening, with a Burgundy red, and the flesh being distinctly white; and the fruit, in comparison to the Bartlett, being shorter and pyriform with a slightly flattened base, the red of the skin being more uniform about the fruit, and the distinctly white flesh being subacid whereas the flesh of the Bartlett is yellowish-white and sweet.
