APRICOT TREE Filed Sept. 25, 1966 iNVENTOR Frederic W. Anderson ATTORNKEYS United States Patent 2,739 APRICOT TREE Frederic W. Anderson, Merced, Calif assignor, by mesne assignments, to Reedley Nursery, Inc., Reedley, Calif. Filed Sept. 23, 1966, Ser. No. 581,665 1 Claim. (Cl. Pit-39) The present invention relates to a new and distinct variety of apricot tree which is characterized by the regular and productive bearing of early ripening, firm yellow flesh, freestone fruit; the fruit ripening approximately two weeks before the Royal apricot (unpatented), and about one Week before the Porno apricot (United States Plant Patent No. 2,192).
The herein claimed variety of apricot tree was originated by me as a second generation seedling of a Perfection apricot Blenheim apricot; both the Perfection and Blenheim being unpatented. Such origination of the instant variety was accomplished by me, under conditions of close observation, in my experimental orchard located near Le Grand, Merced County, Calif.
Subsequent to origination of the present variety of apricot tree, and recognition by me of its novel and distinct characteristics, I asexually reproduced it by topworking on orchard trees in my experimental orchard located as aforesaid. When they came into hearing, all of such reproductions ran true in all respects to the orig inal tree of the present variety.
The drawing comprises an illustration, by photographic reproduction in color, of a twig with leaves, two whole fruit, and another fruit cut in half to expose the flesh and with the stone remaining in one half.
Referring now more specifically to the promological details of this new and distinct variety of apricot tree, the following is an outline description thereof; all major color plate identifications, by comparison with fresh specimens, being by reference to Maerz and Paul Dictionary of Color, except where common terms of color definition are employed.
