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 denominated varietally as Tudor Premium Red substantially as illustrated and described which is characterized principally as to novelty by its production of a red colored, substantially seedless berry which is mature for harvesting and shipment approximately September 10 through 17, in Delano, Calif., said grapevines maturing in approximately the same season as the Emperor Grapevine (unpatented) with which it is most closely similar, but from which it is distinguished as to novelty by producing berries which are mature for commercial harvesting and shipment approximately ten to fourteen days earlier than the Emperor variety of grapevine, and has a fruit texture which is more firm and crisp than the fruit produced by the Emperor Grapevine.
