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 is claimed as new and desired to be secured by Letters Patent is: 1. A new and distinct variety of peach tree is substantially as illustrated and described and which is characterized by producing yellow fleshed, semi-cling fruit having a skin of bright red to yellow coloration tenacious to the flesh ripening for harvest about June 8 to June 10 when ungirdled and responding well to girdling by advancing the harvest date of the fruit several days with only a very minor percentage of splitting of the stones of the fruit.
