Abstract
A new and distinct variety of nectarine tree which is somewhat remotely similar to the "Red Jim" nectarine tree (U.S. Plant Pat. No. 4,518), but from which it is distinguished by producing freestone fruit which are mature for harvesting and shipment approximately five weeks after the fruit produced by the "Red Jim" nectarine tree and which are brighter in color, of better quality and of significantly richer flavor.
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 be secured by Plant Letters Patent is: 1. A new and distinct variety of nectarine tree substantially as illustrated and described and which is somewhat remotely similar to the "Red Jim" nectarine tree (U.S. Plant Pat. No. 4,518), but from which it is distinguished by producing freestone fruit which are mature for commercial harvesting and shipment approximately September 14 to September 28 in the San Joaquin Valley of central California and which further are of improved quality and richer flavor when compared thereto.
