Abstract
A female asparagus plant selected for, earliness of production vigor and high yield, disease resistance to rust (Puccinia asparagi), tolerance to root rot (Fusarium oxysporum) and crown rot (F. moniliforme) and numerous extremely tall summar stalks, reaching a height of 2.7 meters.
Show the legal claimThe single numbered claim as granted — the legal text that defines what this patent covers.
We claim: 1. A new and distinct variety of asparagus plant as herein shown and described, distinguished particularly as to novelty by its unique combination of predominantly female characteristics, producing high yield, having tolerance to rust (Puccinia asparagi), root rot (Fusarium oxysporum) and crown rot (F. moniliforme), and substantially greater market yield as compared with hybrid plants, these characteristics enabling growth of the plant where standard susceptible cultivars cannot be grown profitably.
