Abstract
A grapevine particularly characterized by its grapes which are generally similar to those of the Emperor (unpatented) grapevine having the late ripening, color, flavor and storage characteristics of the Emperor from which it is distinguished by a marked ability to benefit from the application of gibberellic acid thereon to improve the size and quality of the berries and which displays the seedless characteristics of the Thompson seedless grapevine.
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 grapevine, I claim: 1. A new and distinct variety of grapevine to be known as the Emperatriz substantially as illustrated and described, characterized principally by its production of seedless berries which mature approximately a week earlier than those of the Emperor grapevine, which it most nearly resembles, but from which it is distinguished by the berries being somewhat smaller and more nearly spherical than the berries of the Emperor, looser bunches which are much more susceptible to the action of gibberellic acid to enlarge the berries and to fill out the bunches than is the Emperor which has little or no reaction to gibberellic acid.
