Show the legal claimThe single numbered claim as granted — the legal text that defines what this patent covers.
Having thus described and illustrated our 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 bears fruit somewhat similar to that of the Angeleno Plum Tree (U.S. Plant Pat. No. 2747) in the external color of the fruit and the late date of maturity, but which is distinguished therefrom and characterized principally as to novelty in that the fruit is of a large ovate shape with a blue color, a pink to red flesh color, a tight cling type stone and above average fruit quality, the fruit ripening in the last week of August to the first week of September under the ecological conditions prevailing in Kingsburg, Calif.
