Plum tree

Abstract

A plum tree generally, similar to the Laroda plum tree (unpatented), which bears yellow fleshed, freestone fruit having a skin coloration which appears earlier and is much darker when ripe than that of the Laroda.

Having thus described and illustrated my 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 vigorous growth and regular bearing of large, yellow fleshed when ripe, freestone fruit whose flesh becomes brilliantly red in storage; and by its general resemblance to the Laroda (unpatented) plum tree from which it is distinguished by its earlier appearing final skin coloration and from which it is further distinguished by such coloration being much darker, almost black.
