Definitions

  • My invention relates to a new and distinct variety of plum, developed from an unnamed seedling in Colorado, seed being procured from this seedling in 1919.
  • the fruit of the new va- 5 riety was first observed in 1923 but was not asexually reproduced until it was budded both on young stock and top-worked mature trees in Ontario, California, in 1932.
  • This new plum of deep maroon color has extraordinary characteristics of flavor, shape, flesh and skin colors, shipping qualities, and other features which make it a valuable commercial fruit difiering materially from all other known varieties.
  • FoZiage The mature leaves of normal growth are 3% to 3 inches long with a petiole to inch long and at the point of greatest width approximately 1 inches wide, pointed at end and edged completely by extremely fine serrations, each individual serration ending in a very short but spine-like growth.
  • the texture is medium to fine rather than heavy or coarse.
  • the upper surfaces of the leaves are glossy rather than dull, also smooth, and moderately veined.
  • the leaves occur in groups of three to five, each group including a variety of sizes.
  • the color is approximately forest green (Plate XVII, Ridgways Color Standards and Nomenclature).
  • Fruit Form The form is round, almost perfectly globular with the exception of cavity and shallow suture. Apex very obtusely pointed. Large in size, measuring ordinarily 2 to 2 inches at the axial diameter and about the same at the greatest transverse diameter. The stem is short and thick and the cavity deep and narrow, thus causing the fruit to hang close to the branch. The suture, though shallow, is distinct and reaches from stem to apex.
  • a cross section of the ripe fruit shows the flesh a deep red color with a few light lines mostly radiating from the seed cavity. The color is rather uniform throughout but slightly darker near the skin than toward the seed. More technically speaking, the color of the flesh is predominantly Bordeaux red. (Plate XII Ridgways Color Standards and Nomenclature), with touches of Carmine (Plate I, Ridgways).
  • This plum is a freestone, whereas the Satsuma is a semi-cling.
  • plum tree herein described characterized particularly by its globular, sweetflavored, maroon-colored fruits having rather thick, sweet skins.
