Definitions
- the present discovery relates to a new and distinct variety of peach tree which bears early yellow-fleshed freestone fruit, which fruit is of v excellent character for market or dessert use.
- the instant Variety of peach tree carries forward the vigorous growing habit and consistent bearing qualities of the parent July Elberta peach (early Elberta or July Elberta), and also has its freestone fruit; the fruit being only slightly more adherent to the pit than the July Elberta.
- the present variety has a similar, if not improved, flavor relative to that of the parent July Elberta, but is distinguished in that it has a rounder, more spherical shape, less down, and a slight tendency to be softer. Most important, the present variety bears fruit which ripens thirty days earlier than the parent July Elberta, which is the major commercial advantage.
- the highly colored skin of the present variety is similar to that of the Red Haven, which is todays leading early market yellow fleshed freestone peach. It differs from the Red Haven in that it has a rounder, more 2 spherical shape, and ripens approximately two weeks earlier. This ability to reach the market two weeks earlier, with comparative coloring, size, flavor, and over-all quality relative to the Red Haven peach is considered a very valuable feature.
- the herein claimed variety of peach tree bears fruit which ripens two or three days later than the Florence, the earliest bearing peach tree grown commercially at the present time, but has the distinguishing commercial advantages over the Florence peach (which has white flesh) in that it has clear yellow flesh, larger size, less down, more colorful skin, and greater disease resistance.
- Fig. 1 is a perspective View of a pair of the peaches ofthe present variety in connection with twigs and leaves.
- Fig. 2 is a sectional view taken axially of one of the peaches, with the stone exposed.
- Tree Large; vigorous; upright; dense; round topped; hardy; very productive; regular bearer.
- Trunk Medium size; medium texture.
- Leaves Average length, 7 average width, 1 Medium size; acuminate; lanceolate; acutely pointed; medium thick; smooth. Colordark green (24L-7) on top with lighter green (22-0-7) on under side. Leaf twigs--color: light green (20-J-6).
- GZands Average number-five. Alternate; medium size; reniform. Color-green. Position-on petiole and blade. Stipules lacking.
- Flower buds Half hardy; medium size; medium length; conic.
- the flowers are self-fertile; the stamens having red anthers.
- the fruit of the new variety is excellent for market and dessert use, by virtue of its highly colored freestone fruit (reddish mottling and streaks over a yellow ground), and its flavorsome yellow flesh; yellow flesh being a distinct commercial advantage in the early ripening freestone peach.
- the present variety ripens thirty days and two weeks earlier, respectively; the ripening period being only two or three days later than the Florence. Also, in comparison to the July Elberta, Red Haven, and Florence, the fruit of the present variety is rounder, with less down; being slightly softer than the July Elberta, and somewhat larger in size than the Florence.
- 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, having a skin which is yellow in ground color, mottled and streaked to a substantial extent in red, characterized by a ripening period approximately thirty days earlier than the July Elberta; approximately two weeks earlier than the Red Haven; and approximately two or three days later than the Florence; being further distinguished from the July Elberta by rounder form and less down; from the Red Haven by rounder form; and from the Florence by larger size, rounder form, less down, yellow instead of white flesh.
