Abstract
A new variety of nectarine tree which is broadly characterized by its general resemblance to that of the Flamekist variety of nectarine tree (unpatented) but which bears fruit which matures for harvesting ten days later than the Flamekist variety and is freestone by nature.
Show the legal claimThe single numbered claim as granted — the legal text that defines what this patent covers.
Having thus described and illustrated our new variety of Nectarine Tree, what is claimed as new and desired to be secured by Plant Letters Patent is: 1. A new and distinct variety of nectarine tree to be known as the variety Sunectthirteen and the parts thereof substantially as illustrated and described bearing fruit which is medium in size and resembles closely the physical characteristics of the nectarine variety Flamekist (unpatented) which it most nearly resembles, but from which it is distinguished as to novelty by a date of ripening which is approximately ten days later than the Flamekist variety and is freestone by nature.
