Abstract
A plum tree generally similar to the Simka Plum Tree (U.S. Plant Pat. No. 1,882) which it most nearly resembles, bearing large, dark purple fruit, but which ripens about three weeks later than that of Simka, is larger, and is clingstone.
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 I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent is: 1. A new and distinct variety of plum tree substantially as illustrated and described, characterized particularly as to novelty by its general similarity to the Simka Plum Tree (U.S. Plant Pat. No. 1,882) in its regular and productive bearing of large, dark purplish skinned fruit having firm, pale yellow flesh, but differing therefrom in the greater size of its fruit, the ripening of its fruit about three weeks later than that of the Simka, and its flesh which clings over the entire surface of the stone.
