Definitions
- Unite Sttes PatentO This invention relates to a new and distinct variety of peach tree bearingijlargeihighlyr colored, firm, yellow fleshed, freestone peaches.
- a distinguishing feature of this variety is that the fruit ripens uniformly throughout the tree with relatively short ripening and picking period, and n'pens about five days ahead of Elberta (unpatented).
- Seeds were planted for four generations of open pollinated blossoms (F starting with J. H. Hale (unpatented) and selecting each time for high color, firmness and side of fruit, along with good tree producing characteristics.
- this selection first fruited in July, 1954, and was an improvement over its parents.
- several peach trees of the Merrill June variety (Plant Patent No. 869) growing on my farm near Lamont, Kern County, California were grafted to this new variety.
- these grafts bore fruit and it has been observed that the asexually reproduced trees possess the same characteristics as the original (F seedling.
- the drawing is a water color painting of several characteristic twigs and leaves of the instant variety as they appear during picking season and showing a mature fruit borne by one of the twigs.
- the drawing also shows a fruit of the instant variety divided on its suture plane to disclose flesh coloration and pit form and coloration.
- Cavity Somewhat abrupt, elongated in suture plane, with suture showing on both sides. Depth /2. Breadth W to average Markings-under color yellow with red blush from none to Base.Retuse.
- Dorsal edge usually two ridges and one groove, usually interrupted.
- a new and distinct variety of peach tree substantially as described and illustrated, characterized by the production of large, highly colored, firm, yellow fleshed freestone peaches which ripen uniformly throughout the tree approximately five days ahead of the Elberta (unpatented), said peaches being most nearly similar to those of Merrill Gemfree (Plant Patent No. 1,409), but being an improvement thereover by ripening approximately 45 days later, having a skin color of somewhat brighter red, and by the flesh being completely free from the pit.
