Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a new and distinct variety of peach tree of the yellow-fleshed, freestone, fruit-bearing type, which was originated by me by crossing the variety Flamingo (Plant Patent No. 661) with the variety Springtime (Plant Patent No. 1,268).
  • the primary objective of this breeding was to produce a moderately early ripening yellow-fleshed, freestone peach variety which bears largef ruit with firm flesh and attractive skin color, combined with high eating quality and good flavor.
  • This objective was fully achieved by combining the factors for earliness which are inherent in the pollen parent Springtime, with the factors for large size, firmness and high quality which are inherent in the seed parent Flamingo, together with the yellow-fleshed factor present in but not exhibited by Springtime, and exhibited by Flamingo, along with the characteristic high skin color and generally attractive appearance of the fruit of both parent varieties.
  • the new variety is particularly characterized as to novelty by the following unique combination of outstanding features which distinguish it from its parents as well as from all other varieties of which I am aware:
  • the tree of the new variety In comparison with the seed parent, Flamingo, the tree of the new variety is more vigorous in its habit of growth than the rather moderate growth of Flamingo; the new variety has a lower chilling requirement than this parent, and the fruit ripens about mid-June and hence much earlier than the usual ripening period of Flamingo. which is late July or early August in southern California.
  • the new variety is yellow-fleshed, Whereas the fruit of Springtime is white-fleshed; the fruit is considerably larger; the flesh of the fruit is considerably more free from the pit; and the new variety ripens later, usually in mid-June, instead of from mid- May to early June, as in the case of Springtime in southern California.
  • Wilson Wilsons Horticultural Colour Chart
  • Ridgway Color Standards and Nomenclature
  • Petalage Single; usually 5 petals.
  • Ventral edge-Medium thickness with wing generally throughout.
  • Dorsal edge Medium thickness; shallow, narrow groove toward base; ridges on either side interrupted.
