Beurre Hardy

[French]

A medium-sized variety of pear, growing to 70 mm (2¾") with melting flesh. It has golden-russet over greenish-yellow skin and juicy, slightly acidic flesh which is creamy-white with a pink or yellow tinge. It arose in France in the early 19th century and is well suited to growth in the United Kingdom as it is fairly hardy. It is ready in October.
