  • the variety is of the type embraced by group 33 of the classification by Caillavet and Souty, Monographie des Principales Varits de Pchers, 1950 edition, page 45.
  • the fruit of the present variety ripens approximately with the Merrill Gem peach (United States Plant Patent No. 868) and which is the pollen parent, but-in comparison-is produced more abundantly, requires less chilling, is more uniform in size and shape, has less defective fruit at harvest, and is of better eating quality.
  • the fruit of the present variety is larger, firmer of flesh, and has more red exterior color.
  • Fig. 1 is an elevation showing one of the peaches, together with twigs and leaves.
  • Fig. 2 is a sectional elevation of one of the peaches with the stone remaining in place.
  • Trunk Size-stocky to medium.
  • the tree and its fruit herein described may vary in slight detail due to climatic and soil conditions under which the variety may be grown; the present description being of the variety as grown in the Central Valley of California.
  • a new and distinct variety of peach tree as illustrated and described, which bears freestone to semi-freestone fruit having flesh which is yellow adjacent the stone and red adjacent the skin, the skin being yellow overspread to a major extent with red; such fruit ripening approximately with the Merrill Gem peach, but-in comparison-is produced more abundantly, requires less chilling, is more uniform in size and shape, has less defective fruit at harvest, and is of better eating quality; and furtherin comparison with the Gold Dust peach-is larger, firmer of flesh, and has more red exterior color.
