Show the legal claimThe single numbered claim as granted — the legal text that defines what this patent covers.
We claim: 1. A new and distinct variety of nectarine tree substantially as illustrated and described, characterized by its large size, vigorous upright growth, with the adaptability to be a productive and regular bearer of fruit in both fruit growing areas located on the West and East Coast of the United States producing large size, firm, yellow flesh, clingstone fruit with good flavor and eating quality; in comparison to its maternal parent Red Grand Nectarine (U.S. Plant Pat. No. 1,060) the fruit ripens approximately 5 weeks earlier and the fruit and leaves are more resistant to "bacterial spot" caused by Xanthomonas pruni and in comparison to its pollen parent Crimson Gold Nectarine (U.S. Plant Pat. No. 2,825) the fruit of the new variety is larger in size and ripens approximately 7 days later.
