Abstract
A new and distinct variety of plum tree which is characterized by a date of maturity of July 26, under the cultural conditions prevailing at Sanger, Calif., which is approximately four days prior to the Casselman Plum Tree (U.S. Plant Pat. No. 1,756), with which it is most closely similar, and which is further distinguished as to novelty by producing a plum which has exceptional storage and shipping characteristics.
Show the legal claimThe single numbered claim as granted — the legal text that defines what this patent covers.
Having thus described 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 which is somewhat similar to the Casselman Plum Tree, (U.S. Plant Pat. No. 1,756), with which it most closely resembles, but from which it is distinguished therefrom by bearing fruit which are larger, uniform and a full dark red color, which ripens approximately July 26 to August 18 at Sanger, Calif., and which further has a firm yellow colored flesh which resists heat damage and a skin which shows a resistance to shoulder and stem end cracks; the variety displaying exceptional handling and shipping characteristics.
