Tree of remarkable vigor and rapid growth ; foliage luxuriant ; lias so far been nearly free from blight. Com- mences to bear early and is extremely prolific. Quality variable.

One of the best very early Pears. First to middle of July. Wilder. Disseminated by C. A. Green, Rochester, X. and described
