Swan's Egg

Octo. 1. 1807

The size is about that of a Golden or
Yellow Beurré, stalk long, taste sweet
flesh coarse and tender but not very juicy,
a pleasant flavor. The skin a greenish yellow
when ripe with black spots resembling
stains.  I do not think it is the Swans Egg
as described in the Books. Ripe in the latter
part of September.
