I located the pear in an old book "Fruits of Ontario". The proper name is "Lawrence". It is also in the bok "Pears of New York".

 

  thank you Richard.

Subject: [NAFEX] Pear search: Winter Lawrence = Winter Nelis?

On Nov. 30, Joe Boles asked:

Does anyone have any information or know of a pear called "Winter Lawrence".

 

Joe, did you ever find info on "Winter Lawrence"?  While researching heritage turkeys, we noticed certain local names to be phonetically similar, but the spellings barely recognizable.  The Corvallis GRIN database for European Pears (Pyrus) lists "Winter Nelis" and "Winter Cole", but no "Winter Lawrence".  Perhaps Nelis has been transmogrified into Lawrence? 

Lon Rombough and others have grown "Winter Nelis", so they may be able to furnish info on whether "Nelis" and "Lawrence" are one in the same, if you have a Lawrence description.
