Almond tree

Abstract

An almond tree which is large, open, vigorous, spreading, abundantly foliated with large, lanceolate leaves having a finely serrate margin, blooms heavily and prolonged with white pink-centered flowers, and a regular bearer with very heavy production of large, well-distributed nuts having a large kernel.

I claim: 
     
       1. A new and distinct variety of almond tree, substantially as illustrated and described, having general resemblance to the Nonpareil, but distinctively characterized by a prolonged blooming period spanning as much as three weeks; by being an effective pollenizer for the Nonpareil; and by productivity substantially greater than the Nonpareil.
