Description
The new variety of plum tree was originated by me in my experimental orchard located at Modesto, Calif. as an open pollinated seedling of seed collected from Red Beaut Plum (U.S. Plant Pat. No. 2,539). A large number of open pollinated seedlings were grown under careful observation and gave varying characteristics, one such seedling, having especially desirable fruit characteristics was selected for reproduction and commercialization.
The present variety of plum tree was asexually reproduced by budding in my experimental orchard located at Modesto, Calif. and shows that said characteristics run true to the original tree and are established and transmitted through succeeding propagations.
A new and distinct variety of plum tree, which is of large size, vigorous, upright growth and a regular and productive bearer of large, firm, clingstone fruit, characterized as to its novelty by its uniform size and maturity throughout the tree. The fruit of the new variety is further characterized by maturing in early July, approximately one month after Red Beaut Plum (U.S Plant Pat. No. 2,539) and having an attractive yellow skin color, excellent flavor and good shipping quality.
The accompanying photographs show typical specimens of the foliage and fruit of the present variety, such illustrations being of a twig with the upper and lower surface of the leaves being shown, and typical specimens of the fruit showing exterior skin color with one fruit being divided in the suture plane to show the flesh color and the stone remaining in place.
The following is a detailed botanical description of the new variety of plum tree and its flowers, foliage and fruit based on observations of specimens grown at Modesto, Calif., with color terminology (except those in common color terms) in accordance with Reinhold Color Atlas by A.
