I got this response from Van Well's Nursery! So maybe..........

 

Dear Toni,
 
A few pears are possible for consideration.
 
The Bartlett would be a good choice as well as Golden Russett Bosc.   Concordes would probably do okay also.   All three are good choices and excellent flavor.   The Concord pear is a unique pear.  It is small but has a good buttery taste to it.   Bartlett and Bosc are also excellen flavor and very popular.
 
Let me know what you decide.
