Abstract
A new and distinct variety of plum tree to be known as the "Sweet Heart" which is most closely similar to the well known Casselman Plum Tree from which it is distinguished by pink rather than white blossoms, large leaves, and larger fruit.
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, characterized by similarity in tree and fruit characteristics to the well known Casselman variety of plum tree but distinguished therefrom and characterized as to novelty by having larger leaves and producing larger fruit having smaller seeds, and thicker skins conducive to superior shipping and storage capabilities as compared with the Casselman Plum Tree.
