Abstract
A new and distinct variety of Peach Tree, denominated varietally as "Lady Lou" which is somewhat similar to the June Lady Peach Tree (U.S. Plant Pat. No. 3,022) with which it is most closely related but which is distinguished therefrom and characterized as to novelty by producing fruit which are mature for commercial harvesting approximately May 25 through June 5 in Fresno County, Calif., the subject variety maturing for commercial harvesting and shipment approximately ten days earlier than that of the June Lady Peach Tree.
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 peach tree, what I claim is: 1. A new and distinct variety of peach tree to be denominated varietally as "Lady Lou" substantially as illustrated and described and which is characterized principally as to novelty by its production of fruit which are somewhat similar in their overall appearance to the fruit produced by the June Lady Peach Tree, (U.S. Plant Pat. No. 3,022) from which it was derived as a chance scaffold mutation but which is distinguished therefrom by producing fruit which are ripe for commercial harvesting and shipment approximately ten days earlier than the fruit produced by the June Lady Peach Tree.
