Almond tree

Abstract

An almond tree which is of medium size, open, upright and sturdy, and vigorous; abundantly foliated with large, lanceolate, acutely pointed leaves having a crenate, finely serrate margin and small, alternate, globose glands; blooms heavily with white flowers; and is a regular, mid-season, and very heavy producer of large, well-distributed, light-colored nuts having a relatively thin shell and a medium size, sweet-flavored kernel of good quality.

I claim: 
     
       1. A new and distinct variety of almond tree, substantially as illustrated and described, which is upright and sturdy in growth, blooms after the Peerless and Nonpareil, the bloom being heavy and white, and is a regular and very productive bearer of large, light-colored nuts in harvest mid-season; the nuts having a shell thinner than the Peerless, and a sweet kernel of better flavor.
