Abstract
A nectarine tree generally similar to the May Grand Nectarine Tree (U.S. Plant Pat.

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, I claim: 1. A new and distinct variety of nectarine tree, substantially as illustrated and described, characterized by its bearing of semi-freestone, yellow fleshed, even ripening fruit having a full and dark red skin coloration, being uniformly of large size for its early ripening period, and being uniformly of substantially spherical form and being particularly characterized by bearing such fruit about eight days earlier than an ungirdled tree of the May Grand variety (U.S. Plant Pat. No. 2,794) bears fruit.
