Abstract
A very hardy pink dogwood tree which produces many large double flower bracts which provide an almost orchid-like pink display, the tree having many such flowers as to appear as a mass of blooms.
Show the legal claimThe single numbered claim as granted — the legal text that defines what this patent covers.
I claim: 1. A new and distinct variety of Dogwood Plant substantially as shown and described herein, characterized particularly as to novelty by the very double form of its flower bracts, with pink overall coloration providing an orchid-like appearance, and the relatively late period of blooming as compared with other dogwood plants in the same area.
