  • Claim. (Cl. 47-6 2) The present invention relates to a plant invention or discovery and more. particularly to a new and improved variety of peach tree of the fr'eestone type.
  • the peach tree has certain characteristics in common with the well known but unpatented Babcock, the July Elberta of the Burbank Plant Patent No. 15, the Markham of Plant Patent No. 7, the Ramsey et al. of Plant Patent No. 51, the Stribling of Plant Patent No. 1,144, and the Swim of Plant Patent No. 1,150, with which it will subsequently be compared in greater particularity for descriptive convenience.
  • the peach tree shown and described was originated and successfully asexually propagated by the applicant on his growing plot near the" city of Del Rey in the county of Fresno and State of California.
  • the applicant cross-pollinated av July Elberta with a Babcock which: he found blooming: at overlapping periods and available for the purpose.
  • the cross pol.- linization the July Elberta was utilized as the male and the Babcock as the female, Pits were removed. from fruit which. developed from the cross-pollinization and germinated.
  • the peach tree of the present invention is most nearly similar to its parent the Babcock but appears to be somewhat more vigorous in growth, generally produces larger fruit when grown under similar conditions which tend to be somewhat rounder, more intense in skin coloring, of a higher sugar content and more intense flavor. It
  • the subject peach tree bears similarity to its parent, the July Elberta.
  • the tree grows vigorously, producing fruit, foliage and new growth abundantly. Like its paternal parents, it is apparently tolerant to many types of soils and it is expected, although not determined at this time, to a wide range of climates.
  • the wood of the tree is quite hardy, being appreciably resistant to Winter freezes and late spring frosts.
  • the buds and blossoms are affected by relatively low temperatures. For example, a light freeze late in the spring of 1953 seriously damaged the peach crop in the San Joaquin Valley of California.
  • the earlier blossoms of the subject peach tree were somewhat damaged by the frost, the later blossoms resulted in an approximately normal crop of fruit.
  • the tree is of such a character that it may be economically cared for and caused to produce fruit of high quality.
  • the subject peach is quite similar to that of Plant Patent No. but is readily distinguished Plant Pat. 1,353 Patented. Feb. 22,. 1955 1 fibrous than the Markham peach. The peach has somedistinguishing characteristics.
  • the almost spherical shape of the fruit of the subject peach tree can be compared with. that of the Stribling peach tree of Plant Patent No. 1,144 but. is distinguished from the Stribl ing peach in many characteristics including lighter colored flesh, a later ripening period, and firmer flesh.
  • the fruit of the" subject peach tree ripens slightly earlier than that ofv the Swim peach of Plant Patent No. 1,150, has more uniform. skin coloring, somewhat lighter flesh, darker pit and pit well and other
  • the distinctive pornological characteristics of the peach tree will be. apparent by reference to the accompanying drawing, showing a branch of the tree bearing, leaves and a whole fruit, a halved fruit illustrating, flesh color characteristics, and a pit and by reference to the following. description of the peach tree which describes characteristics of: the tree when grown under the ecological conditions found in the San Joaquin Valley of the State of California.
  • Trunk and limbs-.fifiimilar to Kim Elberta being of medium caliber in relation to length, medium surface roughness, usually somewhat lighter in color than Kim Elberta approximating Argus Brown Plate III with the limbs usually being upright, approaching the vertical.
  • the branches are medium slender and mostly smooth also being somewhat lighter in color than the Kim Elberta.
  • Glandular characteristicsReniform one or two on each side of petiole, usually alternate but occasionally opposite, lighter green than leaves.
  • thickness inch of characteristic peach channel form on upper side.
  • Stern cavityovate being elongated and broadened in suture'plane with suture showing distinctly on dorsal side length 1 to 1 inches, depth to inch and width to 1 inch. Base rounded and blended with stem cavity.
  • Flavor.Low acid somewhat similar to Babcock but sweeter and more intense. Excellent eating quality.
  • Sizesmall to medium Length, approximately 1 inches, width approximately 1 inch, and thickness inch.
  • a new and distinct variety of peach tree substantially as illustrated and described characterized by the similarity of its freestone fruit to that of the Babcock peach (unpatented), although tending toward a rounder somewhat larger fruit of higher sugar content and more intense skin coloring than the Babcock; by blossoming about the same time as the Babcock but bearing blossoms of darker red color approximating in color and form those of the July Elberta. (Plant Patent No. 15); and by the ripening of the fruit approximately mid-way between the ripening of the Babcock and the standard (unpatented) Elberta.
