- Another object was to provide a peach tree somewhat similar to the Merrill Pageant (Plant Patent No. 1,338)
- Another object was to provide a peach tree somewhat similar to said Merrill Pageant but larger, more productive and having fruit of better flavor and more attractive coloring.
- FIG. 1 shows a characteristic fruit bearing twig of the subject variety showing leaves and a mature peach there-
- FIG. 2 shows a characteristic fruit of the variety divided on its suture plane to reveal flesh coloration with the pit in place therein.
- the instant variety most nearly resembles the Merrill Pageant (Plant Patent No. 1,338) peach tree but is an improvement thereon in that its fruit has a more attractive mottled red skin, better flavored flesh and ripens from five to ten days later, depending on the weather, and has a larger more productive tree which blooms earlier.
- This new variety of peach tree was produced by me on my plant breeding farm near Red Bluff, Tehama County, California, by crossing Merrill Rodeo (Plant Patent No. 1,097) with an open pollinated seedling from a tree which grew from a seedling resulting from a cross of July Elberta (Plant Patent No. 15) with Maxine (un- Expressed by formula it would be: Merrill Rode ((Iuly Elbertax Maxine) open pollinated).
- the present variety was asexually propagated by grafting onto a tree of Merrill June (Plant Patent No. 869) growing on a farm at Lamont, Kern County, California. When the scion grafted into this tree came into bearing, the fruit and other characteristics proved to be identical with the original peach tree of the instant variety.
- Shape Medium size, medium vigor, moderately spreading, productive, regular bearer. Trunk: Medium stocky, medium shaggy, grey in color.
- Class (Meador and Blake: Proceedings Am. Soc. Hort. Sc., vol. 37, page 206).Class 2 to 3. Length-width ratio-.21. Apex angle (1" from tip)29 to 32". Base angle /2 from petiole)53 to 72.
- Glands usually 2, sometimes l'or 3, alternate, sometimes opposite, medium, reniform, yellow green, brown on older leaves, on petiole and sometimes on base of leaf.
- Suture-Distinct shallow, extends from base to apex.
- a new and distinct variety of peach tree substantially as illustrated and described, characterized by its large size and heavy production of fruit which ripens late in the season, is large, has beautifully mottled red skin, has flesh that frees from the stone, is highly flavored, attractive, and does not darken when exposed to air, and which most nearly resembles the Merrill Pageant (Plant Patent No. 1,338) peach tree, but is an improvement thereon by being a larger, more productive tree, blooming earlier, and producing fruit which ripens five to ten days later and is more attractively colored and better flavored.
