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 plum tree, I claim: 1. A new and distinct variety of plum tree generally characterized by bearing very late ripening, semi-freestone fruit of medium to large size and cordate shape, the flesh of such fruit being yellowish-amber in color and diffused and mottled with red toward the skin, the new variety being particularly characterized as to novelty by bearing fruit ripening approximately two weeks later than fruit of the Roysum variety (U.S. Plant Pat. No. 2,619) and having skin with an extensive and attractive blush of a deeper red to purplish-red than that of the Roysum variety.
