Abstract
A new and distinct variety of plum tree which is somewhat similar to the Roysum Plum Tree (U.S. Plant Pat. No. 2,619) and the Angeleno Plum Tree (U.S. Plant Pat. No. 2,747) concurrently with which it bears fruit which is characteristically a full dark Purplish-Red color of uniform globular shape and by its firm, Golden Yellow flesh which has Purplish-Red pigment diffused into the flesh next to the fruit skin, and further characterized by the extreme tightness with which the flesh fibers adhere to the stone surface.
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 claimed as new and desired to be secured by Letters Patent is: 1. A new and distinct variety of plum tree substantially as illustrated and described which is somewhat similar to the Roysum Plum Tree (U.S. Plant Pat. No. 2,619) and the Angeleno Plum Tree (U.S. Plant Pat. No. 2,747) with which it bears fruit which matures at substantially the same season but from which it is distinguished by bearing fruit which is of a full dark Purplish-Red color, of uniform size and regular shape, having a firm, Golden Yellow flesh which has red pigment diffused into the flesh next to the skin and furthermore by a characteristic extreme tightness with which the flesh fibers adhere to the stone surface.
