Abstract
The grapevine is particularly characterized by its grapes which are generally similar in date or ripening to those of the Flame Seedless Grapevine (unpatented), having the physical characteristics of being seedless, similar to the Flame Seedless but which is distinguished therefrom by producing smaller clusters of grapes which are nearly Red-black in color, in contrast to the red color of the Flame Seedless variety of grapevine (unpatented).
Show the legal claimThe single numbered claim as granted — the legal text that defines what this patent covers.
Having thus described and illustrated our new variety of grapevine, we claim: 1. A new and distinct variety of grapevine to be known as Sugrasix and the parts thereof, substantially as illustrated and described, characterized principally by its production of grapes which mature in the same season of ripening as the Flame Seedless Grape (unpatented) which it most closely resembles, but from which it is distinguished by producing clusters of seedless grapes which are nearly Red-black in color in contrast to the reddish color characteristic of the Flame Seedless Grapevine variety (unpatented).
