60-80 days, good persistent yield of mostly 8-10 oz. (some to nearly 1 lb.) plump, meaty, squat pear-shaped (or bell-shaped) fruit with occasional slight ribbing, sometimes with a little green at the neck end, very good rich flavor. Good for canning and sauces, certainly very appropriate as a multipurpose variety.
