Show the legal claimThe single numbered claim as granted — the legal text that defines what this patent covers.
What I claim is: 1. A new and distinct variety of yellow peach tree, substantially as illustrated and described herein, characterized over the known yellow peach tree by having large lanceolate leaves with a slightly swollen margin which is not as swollen as that of Tusberta; rose-pink and largely polliniferous flowers which are small flowered and self-fertilized; a great amount of fruit which has a sturdy skin, an extremely beautiful appearance, a regular round shape, and a yellow color partially tinged with red where exposed to sun; and flesh which is yellow in color and very delicate in texture with a very small amount of fibers and which has a clingstone, the flesh portions around the stone being of a light color, the taste of the flesh being of a slightly sourish-sweetness and having substantially no difference between the top and the bottom of the fruit, and the flesh having a distinctive good flavor.
