Abstract
A new and distinct variety of nectarine tree generally similar to the Fantasia (unpatented) which it most nearly resembles but from which it is distinguished by producing fruit having a more extensive red skin color, fewer cleft sutures, a rounder shape and brighter ground color.
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 Letters Patent is: 1. A new and distinct variety of nectarine tree, substantially as illustrated and described, broadly characterized by its general resemblance to the Fantasia Nectarine Tree (unpatented), of which it is a seedling, but from which it is distinguished as to novelty by its fruit having a substantially greater amount of overall red blush on a brighter yellow ground color, fewer cleft sutures, and a rounder shape of fruit, particularly the apex thereof.
