Abstract
A new and distinct variety of peach, Prunus persica, tree which has the unique combination of desirable features that are outstanding in a new variety:
1. Heavy and regular production of large size fruit.
2. Fruit with good flavor and eating quality.
3. Relatively uniform size fruit throughout the tree.
4. Fruit holding firm on the tree 7 to 8 days after maturity (shipping ripe).
5. Fruit with good handling and shipping quality.
6. Fruit with a high degree of attractive red skin color.
7. Having a vigorous upright growth.
Description
The present new variety of peach tree was originated by us in our experimental orchard located near Modesto, Calif., from a first generation cross between two selected seedlings field identification numbers 29G591 and 38G470. The maternal parent (29G591) originated as a selected seedling from open pollinated O'Henry Peach (U.S. Plant Pat. No. 2,964). seed. The pollen parent (38G470) originated from a first generation cross between Autumn Glory Peach (non-patented) and Fantasia Nectarine (non-patented). A large group of theses first generation seedlings were maintained and grown under close observation by us, during which time one such seedling, which is the present variety, exhibited especially desirable fruit characteristics and was selected for asexual reproduction and commercialization.
Asexual reproduction of the new and distinct variety of peach tree was by budding, as performed by us in our experimental orchard located near Modesto, Calif., and shows that all characteristics of the tree and its fruit run true to the original tree and are established and transmitted through succeeding asexual propagations.
Our new and distinct variety of peach tree is of large size, vigorous, upright growth, and a regular and productive bearer of large, yellow flesh, freestone fruit with good flavor and eating quality. The fruit is further characterized by being relatively uniform in size throughout the tree, having good shipping and storage quality, and a high degree of attractive red skin color. In comparison to the O'Henry Peach (U.S. Plant Pat. No. 2,964) the tree of the new variety produces fruit that are more round in shape, more uniform in size throughout the tree, have a greater degree of attractive red skin color and are approximately 3 days earlier in maturity.
The accompanying color photographic illustration shows typical specimens of the foliage and fruit of the presnet new peach variety. The illustration shows the upper and lower surface of the leaves, an exterior and sectional view of a fruit divided in its suture plane to show flesh color, pit cavity and the stone remaining in place. The photographic illustration was taken shortly after being picked (shipping 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 variety of peach tree, its flowers, foliage and fruit, as based on observations of specimens grown near Modesto, Calif., with color terminology (except those in common terms) in accordance with Reinold Color Atlas by A.
