WYANT. 



"Fruit large, oblong, flattened; cavity narrow, deep; suture a distinct line; apex 

 almost pointed; color deep red; dots numerous, small, purple; bloom medium; skin 

 rather thick, somewhat tough, astringent; flesh deep yellow, moderately juicy; fairly 

 sweet; stone large, much flattened, oval, semi-cling, almost free; quality medium. 

 Season mid-September. Quality not good enough. This plum is highly recommended 

 in the Western States, but has not proven so good as some others here (Ottawa)."
