caption_attribution_description: English: A colour plate from The Pears of New York (1921) depicting the Beurré Bosc pear cultivar.
context_page_description: The Beurre Bosc or Bosc is a cultivar of the European pear from France or Belgium originally. Also known as the Kaiser, it is grown in Europe, Australia, British Columbia and Ontario, Canada, and the northwestern U.S. states of California, Washington, and Oregon.
  The Beurre Bosc was cultivated first in France. The name Bosc is given after a French horticulturist named Louis Bosc.
  Characteristic features are a long tapering neck and russet skin. Famous for its warm cinnamon color, the Bosc pear is often used in drawings, paintings, and photography due to its shape. Its white flesh is denser, crisper and smoother than that of the 'Williams' or 'D'Anjou' pear. It is called the "aristocrat of pears". It is suitable to be used in poaching.
