Definitions
- This invention is directed to a new and distinct variety of peach tree which bears late ripening, yellow-fleshed freestone fruit.
- the present variety of peach tree was originated by me in the breeding plot which I maintain on my farm near Red Bluff, California. Seeds of the-Kirkman Gem peach (U. S. Plant Patent No. 506) were planted on the above breeding plot in February, 1946. The parent tree of the instant variety first fruited in September, 1948.
- the present variety of peach tree and its fruit generally resembles the Kirkman Gem, including the ability of the flesh of the fruit not to darken or oxidize detrimentally when exposed to the air, but distinguishes advantageously from the Kirkman Gem in the following respects:
- the fruit of the present variety ripens a few days later than the Kirkman Gem; the first picking being near the middle of the Kirkman Gem harvest and continuing some days therebeyond.
- t e fruit of the instant variety is more red in skin color; the fruit does not have a soft stripe do n the suture, as does the Kirkman Gem; and the fruit is more elongated or Elherta shaped, preferred by many on the market.
- a further distinguishing feature is that the fruit of the present variety is firmer at the shipping stage of ripeness, and thus less subject to deterioration in transit.
- the present variety is stronger growing, and more vigorous than the Kirkman Gem.
- Fig. 1 is a perspective view of the fruit in connection with a twig and leaves.
- Fig. 2 is a sectional view of the one of the fruit. with the stone exposed.
- Trunk Medium stocky; medium shaggy.
- Fibers.-Short retaining a few short fiberlike threads.
- Ventral edge.-Thick without wing.
- the tree and it fruit herein described may vary in slight detail due to climatic and soil conditions under which the variety may be grown.
- a new and distinct variety of peach tree substantially as described and illustrated, characterized by its general resemblance to the Kirkman Gem, including late ripening, yellow-fleshed freestone fruit, but distinguished therefrom by a tree; which is stronger growing and more vi orous, and by fruit having a first picking a few days later than the beginning of the Kirkman Gem harvest and a last picking subsequent to the termination of such harvest; the fruit being further characterized by skin having more red color, the absence of a soft stripe down the suture, more elongated or Elberta shaped, and firmer at the shipping stage of ripeness.
