  • the present invention relates to a new and distinct variety of peach tree which was originated by me by cross-pollinating two unnamed and unpatented peach seedlings respectively identified in my breeding and test records by the numbers 41064/19 and 40003/18, the former being the male parent and the latter the female parent.
  • the primary objective in making this cross was to produce a new and improved variety of peach tree especially suited for home use and which combines ornamental flowering qualities with abundant production of good quality fruit.
  • This objective was fully achieved, as evidenced by the fact that the new variety resembles the variety Robin (Plant Patent No. 529) in respect to the coloration, general shape and appearance of the fruit, but having a more uniform scarlet-red color on fruit exposed to the sun, while significantly differing from Robin by its abundant production of very large, ornamental, single type flowers of Rhodamine Pink to China Rose color, as compared to the relatively smaller and less ornamental flowers of Robin.
  • the tree of my new variety is much more vigorous than Robin and has a significantly shorter chilling requirement. Accordingly, following warm winters, my new variety leafs out and begins flowering by the middle of January in the west coast region, and is in full flower by the last week in January, whereas the variety Robin characteristically does not begin flowering until late February or early March, even following warm winters. Colder winters may delay the leafing and flowering of my new variety until late February or early March, but it is especially well-adapted to warm winter climatic areas.
  • Tree Large; vigorous; upright; open; vase formed; very productive; regular bearer.
  • Trunk Medium stockiness; medium smoothness.
  • Leaves Length 4% to 8% inches. Width-1 to 2 inches. Large; acuminate; lanceolate; medium thickness. Colornear Spinach Green, Plate 0960; mid-rib strongly tinged with anthocyanin pigment especially in fall; many leaves strongly colored anthocyanin in late fall. Margin finely serrate. Petiole medium length; about V inch long; medium thickness. Glands-average numberl or 2. Opposite; small; globose. Color-Green. Position-immediately below leaf blade at upper part of petiole. Stipules-very small; practically absent.
  • Ventral surface-Slightly lipped toward base Lips-equal to slightly unequal.
  • Cavity --Rounded; elongated in suture plane with suture showing on one side. Depth to inch. Breadth--% inch. 5 Length-4 inch.
  • Stone.Semi-cling adheres to flesh over entire surface when completely ripe; some fruits are fully freestone except for short fibres along ridges. Fibres-short. Sizemedium. Length--l to 1% inches.
  • a new and distinct variety of peach tree of the combined ornamental and fruiting class substantially as herein shown and described, particularly characterized as to novelty by the resemblance of its fruit to that of the variety Robin (Plant Patent No. 529) in respect to its coloration, general shape and appearance, but having a more uniform scarlet-red color on the fruit exposed to the sun, While dominantly dif fering from Robin by its abundant production of very large, ornamental, single type flowers of Rhodamine Pink to China Rose color, by its more vigorous habit of growth, and by its shorter chilling requirement that is especially adapted.
