Definitions
- the present invention relates to a peach tree and more particularly to a new and distinct variety thereof broadly characterized by producing very highly colored yellow fleshed freestone peaches, of smooth round shape, which ripen about two weeks later than Merrill Gemf-ree (Plant Patent No. 1,409), but which tree blossoms relatively early.
- Another object has been to provide a peach tree of the character described which is vigorous and healthy but of medium size so as to be susceptible to picking without excessively tall ladders and yet be of suflicient size to produce satisfactory yields when planted the usual commercial distance.
- Another object has been to provide an improved yellow-fleshed, freestone peach.
- Another object has been to provide a peach tree somewhat similar to the Merrill Gemfree but which is distinguished therefrom in the production of more nearly spherical fruit which has more red coloring, is more completely freestone, and ripens about two weeks later.
- FIG. 1 shows a fruit bearing twig of the subject variety of peach tree having leaves and a mature peach thereon.
- FIG. 2 shows a peach of the subject variety sectioned on its suture plane to show the flesh and stone coloration.
- the new variety of peach was produced by me on my breeding farm near Red Bluff, Tehama County, California, from seeds resulting from a cross of Merrill Fortyniner (unpatented) with Merrill Gemfree (Plant Patent No. 1,409). The variety has been budded onto seedlings in my virus isolation plot, at Corning, Tehama County, California. When the buds matured they were found to possess the same characteristics as the original seedling. 7
- Trunk Medium stocky, medium shaggy, grey-brown in color. Lenticelsnumero-us, medium small in size. Leaves (selected from midportion of vigorous unbranched terminal shoot 18" to 24" long):
- Width..-- Mostly about 1 /2 Form.Large size, lanceolate, tip acuminate, me-
- Suture.Distinct, very shallow line extends from base but discontinues at apex, with slight marked depression beyond pistil point.
- Texture --Very firm and meaty when shipping ripe, softening into a meaty to melting flesh when soft ripe.
- a new and distinct variety of peach tree substantially as illustrated and described, characterized by its relatively early blooming period and by its yellow-fleshed freestone fruit of high color and substantially spherical smooth shape and which most nearly resembles the Merrill Gemfree (Plant Patent No. 1,409) of known peach varieties but is distinguished therefrom in its redder fruit of more nearly spherical form which is somewhat more free of its stones and ripens about two weeks later.
