Plum tree

Abstract

A plum tree generally similar to the Red Beaut Plum Tree (U.S. Plant Pat. No. 2,539) which it most nearly resembles, bearing reddish skinned, yellow-fleshed clingstone fruit which ripens from five to seven days earlier than and is larger, more highly colored, and of superior texture and flavor to that of the Red Beaut.

Having thus described and illustrated our new variety of plum tree, what is new and desired to be secured by Letters Patent is: 
     
       1. A new and distinct variety of plum tree, substantially as illustrated and described, characterized by its regular and productive bearing of clingstone fruit of medium size having a reddish skin and flesh which is yellow when the fruit is picking ripe and by its resemblance to the Red Beaut Plum Tree (U.S. Plant Pat. No. 2,539) but from which it is distinguished by bearing fruit ripening from five to seven days earlier, having flesh of a more tender and less fibrous texture and a more delicate vinuous flavor, and having a more globose shape and a more highly colored skin.
