The characters of Yellow Egg were given in the discussion of the 

 group which bears its name and but little more needs to be said of the 

 variety. As the largest and handsomest of the yellow plums it is worth 

 consideration by either the amateur or the commercial fruit-grower in 

 New York. At best, however, it is fit only for cooking and is none too 

 good for culinary purposes. The trees are very satisfactory on all but 

 very light soils. As has been suggested before, this plum ought to be 

 crossed with varieties of better quality with the hope of getting as hand- 

 some a fruit but one which could be used for dessert ptirposes.
