Abstract

A new and distinct variety of nectarine tree which is somewhat similar to the September Grand Nectarine Tree (U.S. Plant Pat. No. 1,755) from which it was derived as a chance sport but which is distinguished therefrom and characterized as to novelty by producing fruit which is mature for commercial harvesting approximately September 3 through September 19 at Clovis, Calif. and which has excellent shipping and storage characteristics.

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 desire to secure by Plant Letters Patent is: 1. A new and distinct variety of nectarine tree substantially as illustrated and described which is characterized as to novelty by bearing a clingstone fruit having a yellow colored flesh, a skin color which is 80% to 90% red and by its general resemblance to the September Grand Nectarine Tree, U.S. Plant Pat. No. 1,755, from which it was derived as a chance sport, but from which it is distinguished therefrom by its bearing fruit which matures for harvesting approximately September 3 through September 19, later than the September Grand Nectarine Tree and by having excellent shipping and storage characteristics.
