Show the legal claimThe single numbered claim as granted — the legal text that defines what this patent covers.

I claim: 1. A new and distinct variety of nectarine tree, substantially as illustrated and described, characterized by its large size, vigorous, upright growth, a productive and regular bearer of large size, firm, yellow flesh, clingstone fruit with attractive red skin color and good eating quality; the tree is further characterized in comparison with May Grand Nectarine (U.S. Plant Pat. No. 2,794) by producing fruit that ripens 5 to 6 days earlier and being able to produce fruit with more uniform size throughout the tree, especially on smaller fruiting wood in the lower portion of the tree.
