Joe:
One I'm familiar with is Reine Claude d' Althan. It's more common
name is Count Althan's Gage. And as grown in So. Indiana, it was mediocre
at best,
suffered from brown rot as bad as the worst I've had, etc. Many of these
old
varieties are way too covered in blah-blah as you well know.
If you want a truely great european type, try French Petite.
