Abstract
A new and distinct variety of plum tree which is large, vigorous, upright, vase-formed, and hardy; foliated with medium size, ovate, acuminate, acutely pointed leaves having a doubly finely serrate margin, and opposite glands; blooms from hardy, plump, obtuse, free, glabrous flower buds of medium size and length; the flowers being single, blooming early, medium size, and white with a pink tinge; and is a regular and productive bearer of early ripening, uniform, small, broadly ovoid, freestone fruit having vivid, wine red skin with a light bloom, and dark red flesh; the fruit--of fresh market, dessert quality--having a pleasing, desireable flavor.
Description
In the maintenance of the garden at my residence, located in Modesto, Stanislaus County, Calif., I frequent such garden for the care of plants and trees growing therein; and against this background of my activities, the present discovery was made by me.
The present variety of plum tree is embraced by Class 38, Plants, of the U.S. Patent Office Manual of Classification.
Among existing varieties of plum trees which are known to me and mentioned herein, are the ornamental, flowering Blireiana and Hollywood; both believed to be unpatented.
The original tree of the present variety was purchased by me, from a commercial nursery, under the representation that it was a standard variety of ornamental, flowering plum tree. Subsequent to purchase of the original tree, I planted it in the garden of my residence located as aforesaid. As the tree grew, I maintained it under careful and continued observation and--in maturity--I recognized that the tree evidenced certain characteristics not those of a standard variety of ornamental, flowering plum tree, particularly with respect to the fruit and which was of a size and quality for the fresh fruit market. I, therefore, determined to asexually reproduce the original tree with a view toward ultimate commercialization of the variety.
The present variety of plum tree was asexually reproduced by budding on compatible rootstock; such asexual reproduction having been undertaken, on my behalf, by an experimental grower on a ranch located near Sanger, Fresno County, Calif. In maturity, such asexual reproductions ran true, in all respects, to the original tree.
The present variety of plum tree is large, vigorous, upright, vase-formed, and hardy; foliated with medium size, ovate, acuminate, acutely pointed leaves having a doubly finely serrate margin, and opposite glands; blooms from hardy, plump, obtuse, free, glabrous flower buds of medium size and length; the flowers being single, blooming early, medium size, and white with a pink tinge; and is a regular and productive bearer of early ripening, uniform, small, broadly ovoid, freestone fruit having vivid, wine red skin with a light bloom, and dark red flesh; the fruit--of fresh market, dessert quality--having a pleasing, desireable flavor.
The present variety of plum tree is further, and more particularly, characterized as follows:
The present variety of plum tree fairly closely resembles the growth habit of the ornamental, flowering Blireiana, with leaves similar in shape, but having doubly finely serrate leaf margins, whereas the leaf margins of the Blireiana are serrulate. Additionally, the leaves of the present variety have a green-bronze upper surface which is more glabrous and shiny than the Blireiana, while the under surface is a deeper bronze-purplish color. The flowers of the present variety are white and single, whereas the flowers of the Blireiana are semi-double and pink to rose color. The fruit of the present variety ripens early, is freestone, broadly ovoid in shape, vivid wine red color, appealing in quality, pleasing in taste, and of sufficient size to be of commercial value, whereas the fruit of the Blireiana is very small, round-globular (cherry-like), and more soft.
The present variety of plum tree is of somewhat less upright growth than the ornamental, flowering Hollywood; has leaves which are ovate with a doubly finely serrate leaf margin, as distinguished from the substantially obovate leaves with serrate margin of the Hollywood; the leaves having a less bronze upper surface and a less purple under surface than the Hollywood; and the freestone fruit of the present variety, while similar in size, color and shape, ripens about ten to fourteen days earlier than the semi-clingstone fruit of the Hollywood.
The drawing is an illustration, by photographic reproduction in color, of a twig with leaves, and with separate fruit, one of the latter being cut in half with the stone remaining in one of the halves.
