Early cold-hardy pear varieties?

I have Lawson’s Early June Sugar pear… originated in north Georgia (USA), so I don’t know about cold-hardiness. It is ripe in early June… small, Seckel-shaped, but, like Yellow Transparent apple, there’s about a 10-minute window of opportunity where it’s tasty (but not even as good, in that respect, IMO, as YT)… then it goes tasteless and mealy.
Sure, it’s nice to have a fresh pear to eat in June, but I can’t recommend it.
