large, slightly oblong; color purplish- 
red, inclining to orange on shaded side; 
stone semi-cling; skin thick; flesh rich 
yellow sometimes red next the stone;

Tt is certainly a splendid plum for 
both home use and market. Originated 
with Mrs. Mary Wyant (Iowa) about 
1871 .

White Egg Plum) — Fruit of the very

coarse, sub-acid; fine for cooking. Tree
