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 and which is denominated varietally by the name "Rancho Ocho", the new variety of plum tree being somewhat similar to the Santa Rosa-Two Plum Tree (U.S. Plant Pat. No. 5,904) which matures at approximately the same time of the season, but from which it is distinguished therefrom, and characterized principally as to novelty, by bearing semi-freestone fruit which are ripe for commercial harvesting and shipment approximately June 20 through June 26 under the ecological conditions prevailing at Fresno, Calif.
