Definitions
- This invention relates to anew and distinct variety of peachtreecharacterized by self-fertile flowers, and by large, highly colored, freestone fruit of excellentreatingtquality, which recommends it highly for market and dessert use.
- This variety is a: cross of the Le ⁇ Grrand nectarine (United States Plant Patent 549) and the Elberta peachiunpatented) the variety having been originated'and asexually reproduced by me in ⁇ my experimental nursery and orchard near Le Grand,'county or Merced, California, in the following manner:
- the present variety As compared to the J. H. Hale peach the present variety exhibited more red outside color and was ready for harvest about three or four days earlier.
- the fruit of the two varieties under comparison averaged the same weight; i. e. about one-half pound each, although a few left on each tree reached approximately a pound in weight.
- Both varieties are almost globose in shape, although occasional specimens of the instant variety are slightly elongated axially.
- the average diameter of the two varieties is approximately three inches 2 in both planes, although specimens of both reached four inches.
- the present variety showed and retained much more color during all stages of the ripening period, which was approximately two weeks for both varieties, and both cling to the tree remarkably well during such ripening period.
- the present variety has flowers with red anthers, and is self-fertile, while the J. H. Hale peach has yellow anthers in common with other self-sterile peach varieties.
- the fruit of the present variety has less acidity, and is of a much better eating quality.
- Fig. 1 is an elevation of one of the fruit, together with twigs and leaves.
- Fig. 2 is a. sectional elevation of one of the fruit, with the stone exposed.
- Size-Uniform large. Average diameter axially-three to four inches. Transverse in suture planethree to four inches. Largest specimens weigh up to a. pound; same size class as J. H. Hale peach.
- Cavity Rounded. Depth 1/2 inch. Breadth-ll/z inch. Markings smooth.
- Stone Free. Fibreslong; retains short brelike threads along ridges toward base.
- 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 bearing large size, rm, meaty and melting, yellow iieshed freestone fruit having yellow skin with substantial overspreading of red; characterized-in comparison with the J. H. Hale peach-by a ripening period three to four days earlier; of substantially the same Size but more red exterior color; self-fertile instead of self-sterile owers; having red instead of yellow anthers; and less acidity with better eating quality; and further characterized by a. tree which is larger, more vigorous, and more productive than the J.
