  • Our present invention relates to a new and distinct variety of peach tree, which originated as a seedling on our farm. Outstanding among its qualities are its great resistance to cold, and its heavy production of fruit of good size, excellent flavor and texture, for use particularly in canning or freezing.
  • This new variety is of unknown parentage and was discovered on our farm near Sigourney, Iowa as a seedling where we had planted a number of seeds from various sources. It first came to our attention in the spring following a very severe winter. This new seedling had a 50% set of blossoms and fruit whereas other adjoining trees or others in the neighborhood had no blossoms beacuse of the severe winter. Severe drought and grasshopper infestation prevented ripening of peaches on our tree during that year, however. i
  • the accompanying illustration is a color photograph of a whole peach, a half peach with seed, and a leaf, all in approximately natural size and colors in the original. However, size of both fruit and leaf will vary depending on the amount of thinning done, the position on the tree and the growing conditions.
  • the tree Growth Medium in size. If topped when young'it will growinto a spreading, symmetrical tree.
  • Tree begins to bear very young and has a long life of production. (The original tree lived 16 years.) This variety produces a very heavy set of fruit and usually requires a 50% to 75% thinning in order to get a heavy crop of large-sized fruit.
  • Size Medium to large, varying in size but averaging about 6 inches long by 1 inches wide.
  • Size-Large usually 1 /2 inches in diameter. C0l0r.-Pale pink to dark pink.
  • Size From 2 /2 to 3 inches in diameter, if tree is properly thinned (50 to Maturity: Fruit usually starts ripening about August 20 in this area although the season varies somewhat according to weather conditions.
  • Ripening habit Fruit colors one-half to two-thirds red 9.
  • Colon-Basic color lies between Primuline Yellow (Pl. XVI) and Yellow Ochre (Pl. XV). More than half of this basic color is covered with an over-all red which is between Carmine and Garnet Brown (Pl. 1), being very red on the side which has been next the sunlight.
  • the freestone peach tree substantially as herein shown and described, characterized particularly by its great resistance to cold; its early and long bearing of fruit; its resistance to leaf curl; its heavy production of blossoms and fruit; and its relatively large fruit of firm, excellent- 7 flavored, yellow flesh and attractive, early red coloring.
