Show the legal claimThe single numbered claim as granted — the legal text that defines what this patent covers.
Having thus described and illustrated my new variety of apple tree, what is claimed as new and desired to be secured by Letters Patent is: 1. A new and distinct variety of apple tree substantially as illustrated and described and which is somewhat similar in its harvesting date to the Red Delicious cultivar which matures in approximately the same season and about 10 days later than the common commercial variety Golden Delicious but which is distinguished therefrom, and characterized principally as to novelty by producing an attractively colored yellow skinned fruit which is ripe for harvesting and shipment approximately September 20 to about October 10 under the ecological conditions prevailing in the San Joaquin Valley of Central California.
