Abstract
A new and distinct variety of Nectarine Tree which is somewhat similar to the May Grand Nectarine Tree, U.S. Plant Pat. No. 2,794, with which it is most closely related, but which is distinguished therefrom and characterized as to novelty by producing fruit which is ripe for commercial harvesting eight days later than the May Grand Nectarine Tree and is a genetic dwarf tree.
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 Nectarine Tree, what is new and desired to be secured by Letters Patent is: 1. A new and distinct variety of genetic dwarf freestone nectarine tree, substantially as illustrated and described, which most closely resembles the genetically tall May Grand Nectarine Tree variety (U.S. Plant Pat. No. 2,794), but is distinguishable therefrom in that it ripens eight days later, yields a good flavored freestone nectarine fruit and is a genetic dwarf tree.
