Abstract
A new and distinct variety of peach, Prunus persica, tree. Its novelty consists of the following unique combination. of features that are desirable in a new peach variety:
1. Produces fruit with mild, sweet, subacid flavor with very good eating quality.
2. Heavy and regular production of large size fruit.
3. Fruit with firm flesh, good handling and shipping quality.
4. Fruit having a high degree of attractive red skin color.
5. Vigorous, upright growth habit.
6. Fruit holding firm on the tree 10 to 14 days after maturity (shipping ripe).
7. Relatively uniform maturity of fruit throughout the tree.
Description
The new and distinct variety of peach tree was originated by us in the experimental orchard located near Modesto, Calif. After the seed was collected and cleaned for planting, the identification tag became lost and the parentage was recorded as Misc. Peach. From the similarity in characteristics of the tree and its fruit we believe it to possibly be open pollinated Sweet Gem Peach (U.S. Plant Pat. No. 7,952) parentage. A large group of these seedlings labeled Misc. Peach were grown and maintained under careful observation by us, during which time one such seedling, which is of the present variety, exhibited especially desirable fruit characteristics and was selected for asexual reproduction and commercialization.
The present new and distinct variety of peach tree was asexually reproduced by budding, as performed by us in our experimental orchard located near Modesto, Calif., which shows that all characteristics of the tree and its fruit are established and transmitted through succeeding asexual propagations.
The present new variety of peach tree is of large size, vigorous, upright growth and a heavy and regular bearer of large, firm, yellow flesh, clingstone fruit with very good flavor and eating quality. The fruit is further characterized by holding firm on the tree 10 to 14 days after shipping ripe, having good handling and shipping quality, being relatively uniform in size throughout the tree and having a high degree of attractive red skin color. The present variety of peach tree when compared to the subacid Sweet Gem Peach (U.S. Plant Pat. No. 7,952) is similar in flavor and eating quality, has less apical point and is approximately 35 days later in maturity.
The accompanying photographic illustration shows typical specimens of the foliage and fruit of the present new variety of peach tree. The upper and lower surface of the leaves being illustrated with an exterior and sectional view of the fruit divided in the suture plane to reveal flesh coloration, pit cavity and a stone remaining in place. The photograph was taken shortly after the fruit was picked at maturity (firm ripe) and the colors are as nearly true as is reasonably possible in a color representation of this type.
The following is a detailed botanical description of the new peach tree, its flowers, foliage and fruit as based on observations of specimens grown in our experimental orchard near Modesto, Calif. with color terminology (except those in common terms) in accordance with Reinhold Color Atlas by A.
