Application October 29, 1957, Serial No. 693,223
1 Claim. (Cl. 47-62) The present invention embraces a new and distinct variety of peach tree which bears white fleshed, clingstone fruit having a bright red surface color which substantially overspreads a pale greenish-yellow ground color; the fruit being especially characterized by a. very early ripening period.
This variety was originated by me at my fruit breeding orchard located near Merced, California, during the conduct of an extended. program in the development of commercially desirable peaches.
More particularly, the instant variety of peach tree resulted from a cross of the Sun Grand nectarine (United States Plant Patent No. 980) xthe Robin peach (United States Plant Patent No. 529). Seeds from such cross were planted, and all of the resulting seedlings were white fleshed peaches which-in maturity--had widely varying ripening periods; one of such seedlings, and which is the variety herein described and claimed, having evidenced the earliest maturity, being approximately one week before the Mayflower peach (unpatented), and at the same time as the Springtime peach (United States Plant Patent No. 1,268).
By reason of such early ripening periodand other desirable qualities, as will hereinafter appear-the variety was selected by me for reproduction, and was therefore subsequently top-worked on orchard trees in my fruit breeding orchard, located as aforesaid.
Such asexual reproductions by top-working were found-when they came into bearingto carry forward all of the characteristics of the original seedling.
As compared with the Springtime peach, the two varieties are somewhat similar in that in addition to a like ripening period, the fruit of both is generally small,
white fleshed, and clingstone. They are distinct, however, as the fruit of the present variety has large showy flowers, and leaves with reniform glands, while the Springtime peach has small non-showy flowers, and leaves with globose glands; the fruit here being slightly larger, firmer, brighter red in surface color, not quite so protuberant at the apex, and less subject to defects.
In the drawings:
Fig. 1 is an elevation showing two of the fruit, together with twigs and leaves.
Fig. 2 is a sectional elevation of one of the fruit, with the stone exposed; such stone only partially showing through retained flesh.
Referring now more specifically to the pomological details of this new and distinct variety of peach tree, the following is an outline description thereof; all major color plate identifications being by reference to Maeiz and Paul Dictionary of Color:
