Definitions

  • the present variety ripens during the same season and most nearly resembles the Red top peach (F-IS) heretofore introduced by the United States Department of Agriculture Station at Fresno, California, but is characteristically distinguished by a brighter exterior color, and flesh which ripens evenly and has a sub-acid distinctly delicate flavor, as is most desirable in a dessert peach.

  • the fruit of the present variety is additionally characterized by skin which has no astringent flavor; the skin being tenacious to the flesh when the fruit is hard-ripe but frees when soft-ripe.

  • peach tree was originated by me as a cross using as male pollen a nectarine mutation on a Blazing Gold peach tree, on a I. H. Hale peach tree as the female. From such a cross a substantial number of seedlings were grown in an experimental plot in my orchard located near Dinuba, Tulare County, California.

  • a new and distinct variety of peach tree as illustrated and described, which is hardy, vigorous, and productive, the tree being a consistently good bearer, both after mild and cold winters, of uniformly large and symmetrical freestone fruit having yellow skin overspread to a substantial extent with a bright red blush, and yellow flesh without red fibers; the variety being characterized-in comparison to the Redtop peachby generally the same harvest season but having a brighter exterior color; and further characterized by sub-acid, distinctly delicately flavored, fruit having medium firm and melting flesh which ripens evenly and skin which has no astringent flavor, the skin being tenacious to the flesh when the fruit is hard-ripe but frees when soft-ripe.
