This inventionrelates to a new and distinct variety of peach tree characterized by the bearing of large, firm, highly colored, yellow fleshed fruit which is especially desirable for commercial production; the primary feature of novelty being that the variety has a ripening period earlier than any other yellow fleshed variety of peach of which I have knowledge.
the fruit of the instant varietyis more specifically characterized, as to color, by a yellow ground color almost completely over-spread with an attractive bright red color at maturity; and-as to pubescenceby the same being very short and inconspicuous, as is desirable for a market peach.
the present variety of peach treewas originated by me in my experimental orchard at Le Grand, California, under conditions of close inspection and continuing comparison with other varieties, in the following manner:.
Fig. 1is an elevation showing two of the fruit, together with twigs and leaves.
Fig. 2is a sectional elevation of one of the fruit, with the stone exposed.
the tree and its fruit herein describedmay vary in slight detail due to climatic and soil conditions under which the variety may be grown.
a new and distinct variety of peach treeas illustrated and described, characterized by large sized, firm, yellow fleshed, highly colored, semi-free to clingstone fruit having a ripening period approximately one week earlier than the Blazing Gold peach and approximately three days later than the Mayflower peach; andby further comparison-being larger and more attractive than the Blazing Gold peach, and being larger, yellow instead of white fleshed, firmer, and more productive than the Mayflower peach; and additionally characterized by fruit which has very short and inconspicuous pubescence, and a skin color which is a light yellow almost completely over-spread with a bright red color at maturity.
