Abstract
A grapevine generally resembling the Delight variety of grape (unpatented), but distinguished therefrom by bearing berries which ripen at least two weeks earlier than the Delight variety, and which is substantially free from the distinct muscat flavor characteristic of the Delight variety.
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 substantially as illustrated and described characterized by its general resemblance to the Delight variety of grapevine (unpatented), which it most nearly resembles, in bearing an oval, almost seedless green berry, but being distinguished therefrom and characterized as to novelty by bearing berries which mature at least two weeks earlier than the Delight between June 25 and July 5, and furthermore by not having the light muscat flavor that is characteristic of the Delight variety.
