Definitions

  • the subject peach tree originated as a chance seedling in the sense that it did not result from the artificial cross pollination of selected parent peach trees by the applicant but is an intentionally produced new variety inasmuch as it resulted from the purposeful germination of one of numerous seeds selected by the applicant and the care of the resultant seedlings until they bore fruit enabling discriminating selection for reproduction.
  • the applicant is a peach farmer who "usually dries his commercial peach crop for market. Preliminary to the drying operation, the peaches are cut into substantially equal halves for exposure to the sun and the pits removed therefrom in the well-known manner. Vast quantities of pits result as a'by-product of each years drying operation. The applicant, at
  • the trees are medium large, open headed, broad topped and usually without a central leader.
  • the trunk of the tree at maturity is medium stock-y and usually from nine inches toa foot in diameter and of the usual dark reddish brown color.
  • the trunk is usually smooth until it reaches a diameter of fromone and a half to two inches, after which it 'becomes rough and scaly.
  • the branches are generally more upwardly directed than the outwardly extended branches of the Rio Oso Gem, of average vigor and size, and subject to some drooping when heavily ladened, as are peach branches generally.
  • the twigs are round, rather slender, and gla'brous.
  • the tree blossoms early, preceding by about one week in the area of present cultivation, the well period.
  • the leaves are medium broad, of alternate occurrence, sym metrical, lanceolate, and have marked midribs with frequently alternately branching, occasionally concurrently branching, side ribs.
  • the leaves usually have long tapering apices, parabolic bases, are approximately 1% inches in width and 6 inches in length at maturity and have minutely serrated edges.
  • the petioles are stout, longitudinally grooved along the upper surfaces and usually have a pair of glands at leaf base.
  • Th coloring of the drawing was double checked with fruit picked July 2'7, 1951, which were also firm and in good condition. For shipping purposes, however, the fruit is preferably harvested "somewhat earlier.
  • the flesh is of low acid content and resists browning to a marked extent when exposed to the air.
  • the total acidity (as malic acid) is approximately one hour at an environmental temperature of about before being photographed.
  • the fruit is globular, moderately to heavily pubescent, has a moderately marked suture, usually bulges slightly more at one side of the suture than the other, and is minutely mucronate.
  • the size usually approximates 2 /2 inches in transverse diameter and 2 inches in Longitudinal diameter. The tree tends to bear-an excessively heavy crop and the fruit attains satisfactory size only when heavy thinning is practiced.
  • the flesh varies slightly from almost pure white to light cream, about 9D2, page 41 of Maerz 8: Pauls Dictionary of Color and is flrm and of excellent quality.
  • the pit well is deep and varies from ox-blood red to carmine. Radial rays of carmine extend outwardly from the pit well into the flesh and are brilliantly contrasted with the light color thereof.
  • the stone is about 1%; inches in length, threequarters of an inch in major transerve dimension and inch in minor transverse dimension. It is usually ovate,-deeply sculptured, substantially symmetrical, and has a shar point. A sharp blade is frequently noted at the stem end thereof longitudinally extending along the dorsal side. The pit varies in color from a brilliant carmine to a dull brown dependng upon the degree of maturity. 1
  • the subject peach tree is characterized by the following:- 1. Brilliant green foliage infrequently forming autumn colors. As the leaves drop in the fall fromione-half to three-fourths of the leaves are a uniformly brilliant green. The remainder of the leaves occasionally acquire a light streak of maroon or red coloring. The leaves never acquire the yellow coloration in the fall of peach trees generally.
  • peach tree herein illustrated and described characterized as to novelty by the brilliant green of its foliage, the firm light cream flesh of its freestone fruit having a brilliantly carmine pit well radiantly streaked into the flesh ripening approximately concurrently with the Babcock, the graduated coloring of the skin from light cream to ox-blood red, dependent upon exposure to the sun during maturation, the progressive flavor change from apear-like quality in early maturity to that suggestive of a White Heath clingstone with a nectarine tang at full maturity, and the ability to sustain marketable condition for a protracted period when left on the tree.
