Definitions
- this new peach tree an offspring of the Redhaven but it is probably more closely similar to that variety than any other. It bears bright red splotched fruit having yellow flesh and being freestone when fully ripe but even then is frequently subject to some minor adherence of the flesh to the pit. Like the Redhaven, it ripens in June under the ecological conditions prevailing in the San Joaquin Valley. The flesh is firm and has a good flavor and the fruit has fuzz to the approximate extent of the Redhaven.
- the new variety is characterized as to novelty when compared with the Redhaven by ripening seven to ten days earlier, bearing less heavily but having larger fruit, the fruit being more heavily splotched with a darker and brighter red, and the pit well varying from yellow to light pink as contrasted with the usual bright red pit well of the Redhaven. Additionally, the tree of the new variety is of narrower silhouette than the Redhaven under similar growing and pruning conditions, is somewhat more vigorous growing and is more erect in its growing habits. The blossoms are almost identical in appearance to those of the Redhaven but open a few days earlier. The unopened buds are considerably darker than those of the Redhaven but when opened there is only slight difference.
- the trees of the new variety leaf out a few days earlier than the Redhaven but this is not regarded as a marked or dependable distinction because the Redhaven trees with which comparison was made were somewhat older than the trees of the new variety.
- the fruit of the new variety usually colors earlier and the sutures thereof disappear earlier than in the Redhaven.
- the mature fruit is somewhat rounder than the Redhaven and usually of greater diameter normal to the suture plane than either transversely or longitudinally of the suture plane.
- the flavor of the fruit is more like the regular Elberta (unpatented) than like the Redhaven. In the autumn, the leaves are more yellow and not nearly as orange in color as the Redhaven.
- the high color of the fruit of the new variety is quite similar to that of the Merrill Gem of Plant Patent No. 868 but is readily distinguished from the gem.
- the fruit of the new variety is freestone while the gem is a cling.
- the new variety ripens a few days later than the gem.
- the flesh of the new variety is yellow and lacks the red mottling of the gem.
- peaches and a twig bearing leaves of the new variety are shown in the accompanying drawing.
- the peaches are arranged so as to show a stem end, an apex, and a fruit divided on the suture plane with the pit removed.
- Tree 7 General characteristics: Medium size, vigorous,fupright, somewhat narrow in silhouette,hardy, productive, but not as' heavily as the Redhaven, and a regulanbearer.
- Trunk Medium stocky and medium smooth.
- Lenticels Medium in size and number.
- Leaves Average length when mature approximately 6% inches. Average width when mature about 1% inches. Large, acuminate, lanceolate, acutely pointed, smooth surfaced, infrequent glands, peripherally serrated, and only slightly wavy. Surfaces proximate Amulet, Plate 30-L-7 with veins approximately Plate 13-J-l.
- Petiole Longitudinally grooved and of medium length, approximately /2 inch when mature, and frequently with single glands. Blend in color from Plate 13-I-1 to Gold Pheasant, Plate 13-L-12 to Sage Green, Plate 224-5.
- Blossoms Nearly identical to Redhaven but slightly darker pink and few days earlier than Redhaven. Selfpollinating.
- the fruit is of high quality, of attractive color and ships and stores well.
- Ripening period In the San Joaquin Valley of California approximately June 7 to June 20. Seven to ten days ahead of the Redhaven, concurrently with Santa Rosa Plums (unpatented) and two or three days after gem of Plant Patent No. 868. Size: Large with normal thinning. Longitudinal diameter 2 /8 to 3 inches. Diameter transversely in suture plane 2% to 3 inches. Diameter transversely and normal to suture plane 2% to 3% inches. Form: Uniform, symmetrical, globose.
- Pit well almost identical to flesh and occasionally varying to Burnt Orange, r
- the subject peach tree and its fruit may vary in minor particulars due to climatic, soil and otherenvironmental variations but has been described as observed under cultivation in the San Joaquin Valley of California.
- a new and distinct variety of peach tree substantially as illustrated and described bearing large, firm, red splotched freestone fruit having yellow flash and being characterized as to novelty when compared with the Redhaven to which it appears to be most similar by ripening seven to ten days earlier; bearing less heavily but having larger fruit, the fruit being more heavily splotched with a darker and brighter red, -and the pit well varying from yellow to light pink as contrasted with the usual bright red pit well of the Redhaven.
