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 which bears generally yellow-fleshed, clingstone fruit of large and uniform size and characterized as to novelty by bearing fruit which ripens a minimum of four days before the Flamekist variety of nectarine tree, an unpatented variety developed by the U.S. Department of Agriculture, and by a skin which has at full maturity a waxy and bright finish and extensive red coloration, typically spreading over from 60 to 90 percent of its surface area, with the suture coloration blending into the general skin coloration.
