  • Figure 1 is an illustration of said Tree No. 101 as it appeared August 8, 1934
  • Figure 2- is a perspective of the fruit
  • Figs. 3 and 4 arelongitudinal and transverse sections, respectively, of the fruit
  • Fig. 5 is an enlarged perspective of a twig and leaves.
  • the new tree illustrated resembles the Elberta peach more than it doesany other well-known variety, and, therefore, will be described to a considerable extent in terms of its variation from the Elberta peach tree.
  • the particular tree illustrated was eleven feet tall and fifteen feet broad in its eighth year, when standing erect. In the accompanying illustration, it is shown loaded with fruit, as it was on August 8th, 1934. It is not as tall or as open growing as Elberta peach trees in the same orchard, but is a vigorous grower and may be classed as intermediate between the Elberta and the J. H. Hale in this respect.
  • the bark on the trunk of the tree is medium as to smoothness.
  • the leaves are oval to obovate-lanceolate, on the average about six inches long and two inches wide.
  • the upper surface is a dull, dark olive green and the lower surface agrayish green, the entire leaf being somewhat more highly pigmented with yellow than the Elberta.
  • the leaves are much curved along the midrib and fold upward along the midrib more than the Elberta.
  • the surface of the leaves is mostly smooth, but slightly rugose near the midrib on the upper surface.
  • the serrations on theleafs margin vary from fine to coarse, and the margin is generally glandular. In thickness, the leaves vary from medium to thick and leathery.
  • the petiole is about inch long, with one to several reniform glands of medium to large size, arranged alternately, and of changing color with the season. 5
  • the twigs of the tree are similar to those of the Elberta in shape, color and general characterlstics.
  • the flowering time of the tree at Wooster, Ohio has ranged for the last five years between 10 April 18th for the first bloom, and May 7th for the last bloom, it being in full bloom usually during the last week of April, but this year, 1934.
  • the first bloom was May 2nd and the last May 1th.
  • This new variety has a larger and more showy bloom than the Elberta, closely resembling the Carman in this respect.
  • the flower buds are pubescent, medium to large in size, medium to long, conic to obtuse, plump, and mostly appressed.
  • the fruit is a yellow free-stone peach, having a thick skin, and in size, color, texture and Juiciness of flesh, flavor and general appearance resembling the Elberta, except that it has a more prominent tip, and that. it is more elongated than the Elberta or other known varieties of yellow peaches ripening at about the same time. It is distinguishable from the Elberta by being less plump. The suture is pronounced, there is a tendency to bulge more on one side than on the other, and the apex is decidedly pointed.
  • the i'ruits shipping and keeping qualities are good. It is a good all purpose peach. It is; of good quality for dessert, and also cooks and cans well. It is good for home use, and it is also a good market peach.
  • the ripening time at Wooster, Ohio, is about September 10th,- ripening with and a little later than the Elberta.
  • the particular feature of the original tree 40 which I considered most important was its steady bearing, sure cropping characteristic, and this, with the other characteristics above described, has been reproduced in the reproductions by budding now growing at the said sta- 4 tion.
  • the resistance of the tree, leaves and fruit, respectively, to insects and diseases is good. It has resisted well the dry seasons encountered, and is particularly resistant to cold.
