the present inventionis directed to a new and distinct variety of peach tree which bears large to medium sized, yellow-fleshed, clingstone fruit; the principal distinguishing characteristic of the present variety being an early ripening period of the fruit relative to the well known Paloro peach with which it otherwise has close resemblance.
Fig. lis a perspective view of fruit of the present variety, together with stems and leaves.
Fig. 2is a sectional View taken axially of the fruit, with the cling-stone partially exposed.
peach treeis comparable to the well known Paloro variety in general fruit and tree characteristics, but ripens for canning use approximately twelve days earlier than the fruit of the Paloro peach trees (unpatented) growing in comparable situations; all fruit of trees of the present variety full-ripening for canning at approximately the same time.
the tree and its fruit herein describedmay vary in slight detail due to climatic and soil conditions under which the variety may be grown.
