Plum tree

Abstract

A plum tree substantially identical to the Santa Rosa Plum Tree (unpatented), which it most nearly resembles, and which bears reddish-purple skinned, light yellow-fleshed, cling stone fruit, but distinguished by bearing fruit which ripens from two to three weeks earlier than the fruit of the Santa Rosa Plum Tree.

Having thus described and illustrated my new variety of plum tree, what is claimed as new and desired to be secured by Letters Patent is: 
     
       1. A new and distinct variety of plum tree substantially as illustrated and described, and characterized by trees, leaves, and fruit which are substantially identical to those of the Santa Rosa (unpatented) plum tree, but distinguished therefrom and characterized as to novelty by fruit which ripens from two to three weeks earlier than the Santa Rosa.
