Definitions
- This invention is directed to a new and distinct variety of peach tree which bears yellowfleshed freestone fruit having characteristics which make it desirable in the early market for table or dessert use.
- the primary novel feature of this variety is the early ripening period of the fruit, coupled with the fact that its yellow-fleshed freestone fruit is good size, well shaped, and highly colored; the latter being very exceptional in an early ripening peach.
- Another valuable feature of the instant variety is that the fruit is sufliciently firm to be a good early shipper.
- the tree is a vigorous grower and consistent bearer, and that a good set of fruit is produced even in a mild winter; this latter feature distinguishing from many other early peaches which require a freezing winter for good setting of the crop.
- Fig. 1 is a perspective view of the fruit of the new variety, together with stems and leaves.
- Fig. 2 is a sectional view of one of the fruits. with the stone exposed.
- Fig. 3 is a perspective view showing a pair of leaves; one leaf showing the top side, and the other leaf showing the under side.
- Flower buds Half hardy; medium size; medium length; conic; flowers are self-fertile. Flowers: Average date first bloom, March 7th; average date full bloom, March 14th. Normallocal (with July Elberta) Medium blooming period compared with other varieties. Medium, size. Colorpink. Anthersred. Fruit:
- CoZor.Yellow background almost completely overspread with maroon red, with no definite contrast between the sides. shading from lighter (5-A-12) to darker (5L-10); there being relatively darker mottling or streaking on the fruit, as shown.
- Fibers.-Short parts from flesh when fully ripe; retains short fiber-like threads along ridges.
- the instant variety ripens between the Mayflower and Alexander, and at the same time as the Florence peach; the latter being one of the early bearing standard peach trees in Western fruit commerce.
- the Florence peach tree bears fruit which is white-fleshed
- the yellow-fleshed fruit of the present variety is a distinct advantage, as the trade prefers the latter.
- the present variety has the distinct advantage of ripening and being available to the market eighteen days earlier, in addition to being rounder and having a more spherical form.
- the tree and its 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 bearing yellow fleshed, freestone fruit which ripens with the Florence between the Mayflower and the Alexander, the fruit ripening approximately eighteen days earlier than the Red Haven and approximately thirty-flve days earlier than the July Elberta, being yellow in under-color almost wholly overspread with reddish maroon with dark mottling thereon, being rounder and oi. more spherical shape than the Red Haven and July Elberta, having a relatively small pit, and acid flavor; and the tree being a vigorous grower, a consistent bearer, and setting a good crop in mild winters.
