Abstract
A grapevine particularly characterized by its grapes which are generally similar to those of the "Garmeria" grapevine, but characterized as to novelty by producing grapes which are ready for harvest several days after the "Garmeria" grapevine and furthermore by producing berries which have a strong attachment to the pedicel and being larger and more elongated in shape than the "Garmeria" 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 to be designated varietally as the "Garlate", substantially as illustrated and described, characterized principally as to novelty by its production of grapes which mature approximately October 10 through October 15 at Fresno, Calif., said grapes maturing several days later than the berries of the "Garmeria" grapevine, which it most nearly resembles, but from which it is distinguished by producing a cluster of berries which has a stronger attachment between the berry and the corresponding pedicel, by being ready for harvest several days later than the "Garmeria" variety, and having a larger, elongated, cylinder-shaped berry.
