Abstract
A new and distinct variety of apple tree ( Malus Pumila Mill ) named ‘Nevson,’ and which is characterized as to novelty by uniqueness of shape, color, flavor and texture, and a date of maturity for commercial harvesting and shipment of approximately September 10 through October 1 under the ecological conditions prevailing in the Columbia Basin area of Central Washington.
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 I claim as new and desire to secure 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 ‘Gala’ cultivar which matures in approximately the same season, and about 20 days earlier than the common commercial variety ‘Golden Delicious’, but which is distinguished therefrom, and characterized principally as to novelty by producing an attractively colored red speckled and striped yellow skinned fruit which is ripe for harvesting and shipment approximately September 10 to about October 1 under the ecological conditions prevailing in the Columbia Basin of Central Washington.
