Almond tree

Abstract

An almond tree which is large, spreading, dense, and vigorous; abundantly foliated with small, lanceolate, acutely pointed leaves having a finely serrate margin, and small, green, alternate, globose glands; blooms white and very heavily; and is a regular and very heavy bearer of small, well-sealed nuts having medium size, sweet kernels of very good quality.

I claim: 
     
       1. A new and distinct variety of almond tree, substantially as illustrated and described, particularly characterized by a blooming period approximately two weeks earlier than the Thompson and about two days after the Nonpareil, and by a harvest period after the Thompson and Nonpareil and approximately with the Merced.
