Definitions
- the present invention relates to a new and distinct variety of peach tree of the white-fleshed, freestone, fruitbearing type, which was originated byme by crossing two unnamed and unpatented sister seedlings, each derived from a cross of an unnamed and unpatented seedling of Chinese Dwarf (unpatented) Rio Oso Gem (Plant Patent No. 84) and an unnamed and unpatented seedling of Babcock (unpatented Mayflower (unpatented).
- the primary objective of this breeding was to produce an improved, early-ripening peach variety of either the while or yellow-fleshed type. This objective was fully achieved as a white-fleshed peach, along with other desirable features, as evidenced by the following unique combination of characteristics which distinguish the new variety from its parents, as well as from all other varieties of'which I am aware:
- my new variety has a maturation period in southern California averaging from about five days to about a week longer, with a lower chilling requirement, while the flavor of the fruit is subacid instead of very sweet like that of Robin. In color and size of the fruit, the new variety appears to be better on the average than that of Robin.
- the unnamed seed parent of my new variety was characterized by bearing white-fleshed, freestone fruit of good size, good flavor, and fair skin color, said fruit ripening in early August, while the fruit of my new variety ripens on the average fromsix to eight weeks earlier, and the fruit has a much better red skin color.
- the pollen parent of the new variety was characterized by its white-fleshed, semi-cling fruit of relatively small size and good skin color, but of somewhat bitter flavor, with tates Patent Plant Fat. L976 Patented Get. 1e, i960 2 the fruit ripening in the period of mid-June, while in comparison with this parent, the fruit of my new variety is larger, more freestone, and has no bitterness in flavor.
- the original ancester Rio Oso Gem has yellowfleshed, freestone fruit of good size, flavor, quality, and firmness, said fruit ripening in early August, whereas the fruit of my new variety is white-fleshed, smaller, and ripens some eight weeks earlier, and the tree of my new variety is more vigorous and has a lower chilling requirement.
- the original ancester Babcock is characterized by small to medium-sized, white-fleshed, freestone fruit of good skin color and sweet flavor, with a ripening period from early to mid-July, while the fruit of my new variety is not quite as sweet in fia vor, but'has somewhat better size, and ripens approximately one month earlier than the fruit of this ancestor.
- the original ancester Mayflower is characterized by its white-fleshed, cling fruit of small to medium size, moderate skin color, and soft flesh, with a ripening period in late May, and the tree has a high chilling requirement and the yield is low.
- the fruit of my new variety is of much better size and skin color, has firmer flesh, and ripens two or three weeks later, and the tree has a much lower chilling requirement and a much better yield.
- Wilson Wilsons Horticultural Colour Chart
- Ridgway Color Standards and Nomenclature
- Colon-At first green or reddish on exposed surfaces, with lenticels appearing as small, nearly white dots.
- Glands.Reniform medium size; usually from 3 to 5 in number; borne both on the petiole and on the base of the blade.
- Petalage Single; usually 5 petals.
- Fruit Ripening dates Generally ripens from early to mid-June at Ontario, California; over prolonged period of observation, the dates of first ripening ranged from May 30 to June 23; length of fruit maturation period from peak bloom to first ripe averages from about five days to about a week longer than that for the variety Robin.
- Axial diameter --Fr0m 2% inches to 2 /2 inches.
- Transverse diameter in suture plane From 2% inches to 2 /8 inches. Transverse diameter at right angles to suture plane.
- Suture Usually an inconspicuous line extending from base to apex.
- Ventral surface Rounded; lips slightly unequal.
- Stem cavity Flaring and rounded; elongated somewhat in suture plane, with suture showing on both sides.
- Base From rounded to truncate.
- Stem Medium caliper; glabrous; medium adherence to stone. Lengthabout /2 inch.
