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, what is new and desired to be secured by Letters Patent is: 1. A new and distinct variety of Plum Tree substantially as illustrated and described and which is somewhat similar to the Wuhl Plum tree (U.S. Plant Pat. No. 5,585) with which it is somewhat closely similar in its physical appearance, but from which it is distinguished therefrom and characterized principally as to novelty by bearing fruit which are ripe for commercial harvesting and shipment approximately May 27 through June 3 at Fresno, Calif. and which further produces a semi-freestone fruit which has a good flavor and an attractive skin coloration.
