Abstract

A new and distinct variety of nectarine tree which is somewhat similar in its harvesting date with that of the Arctic Glo nectarine tree [U.S. Plant Pat. No. 7,884] which matures at approximately the same time of the season, but which is distinguished therefrom, and characterized principally as to novelty by producing fruit which have a larger size, firm flesh texture and an attractive skin color at commercial maturity.

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 nectarine tree, what I claim as new and desired to secure by Letters Patent is: 1. A new and distinct variety of nectarine tree substantially as illustrated and described and which is somewhat similar to the Arctic Glo nectarine tree [U.S. Plant Pat. No. 7,884] which matures in approximately the same season, but which is distinguished therefrom and characterized principally as to novelty by producing fruit which have a larger size, a dark red skin color and which is semi-freestone by nature at commercial maturity.
