Abstract
The grapevine particularly characterized by its production of berries which are generally similar to those produced by the Emperor Grapevine (unpatented) but which is characterized as to novelty by producing grapes which are mature for commercial harvesting approximately September 1 through September 15 under the ecological conditions prevailing in the San Joaquin Valley of Central California.
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 designated varietally as the Flamed Globe substantially as illustrated and described which is characterized principally as to novelty by its production of grapes which are mature for commercial harvesting approximately September 1 through September 15 under the ecological conditions prevailing in the San Joaquin Valley of Central California, said grapes maturing several weeks earlier than the Emperor Grapevine (unpatented) with which it most closely resembles but from which it is distinguished by producing berries which have a reddish brown color and which further have leaves which have a sagitate petiolar sinus and serrate marginal edge.
