Definitions

  • the peach tree has been asexually reproduced by budding at farms located at Toppenish, Washington.
  • the peach tree has many desirable features including an extremely early ripening one to one and one half weeks earlier than the Halehaven and three and one half weeks before the J. H. Hale.
  • the fruit is superior in flavor, tex ture and appearance to its parents and in quality is equal to, if not superior to the Elberta unpatented, although ripening some four weeks before the Elberta.
  • the Plant Growth Medium in vigonless than the Halehaven, but more than the J. H. Hale, with upright and spreading growth.
  • the leaves are medium to large in size, generally 1% inches wide and from 5 /2 to 6% inches long. They are obovate-lanceolate in shape, having an obtuse base angle and a sharply acute apex angle with the leaf blade having a tendency to be slightly folded up. It is medium thick and leathery.
  • the upper surface is a moderate olive green (Plate 23, -12), fairly smooth, with terminal leaves being somewhat rugose.
  • the lower surface is a grayish green (Plate 22, D-4) with very sparse fine pubescence along midrib. The midrib is prominent and slightly pinched.
  • the veins are random in arrangement more than alternate.
  • the margin of the leaf is finely serrate and shallow with the teeth of the serrated margin tipped with reddish-brown (Plate 8, L-5) glands.
  • Petiole Generally /2 inch in lenth.
  • Glands The number varies from 2 to 6 with 3 being the usual number. They are reniform in shape, medium in size, yellowish green (Plate 18, L6) in color, and alternate more than opposite in position. Located principally on petiole within one centimeter of the leaf blade and on the edge of the leaf blade above the petiole.
  • the Flower Bloom Large showy blossom. This variety is self-fertile.
  • Petals Light pink (Plate 1, C-3) in color with a few flowers having almost white petals. Round in shape with a tendency toward being oval, smooth edges, some- Plant Pat. 2,180 Patented Oct. 9, 1962 what cupped. Large petals inch in width and inch in length.
  • Stamens Another color is yellow (Plate 18, Ll), and reddish (Plate 6, K-3) in color before blossoms open. Filaments are shorter than the petals averaging inch in length.
  • Pistils About inch long, pubescent at ovary, greater in height than stamens next to pistil, but approximate height of stamens in outer whorl. Stigma a yellow green color (Plate 17, L6).
  • Pedicel About inch in length, almost sessile, glabrous and green in color (Plate 18, I-7)
  • Sepals Medium long, inch in length, erect at 30 angle, glabrous within, and pubescent without, smooth edges.
  • the Fruit Appearance Produces a very attractive large sized fruit covered with a bright red blush (Plate 4, L6) with a yellow ground color (Plate 10, L6). This bright red blush will completely cover the fruit where it is exposed to the sun. The red coloring of the blush does not extend into the flesh. Fruit size two and a half to three inches with proper pruning and thinning.
  • Shape A longitudinal section through the fruit will show it to be oblate in shape tending to roundness.
  • the base end of the fruit is flattened, but the apex end is more rounded with the point being very slightly depressed.
  • the point is a very inconspicuous feature.
  • a transverse section of the fruit will show it to be elliptical in shape.
  • Flesh color Yellow (Plate 10, L-6) similar to that of l. H. Hale.
  • Flesh type Medium firmness with melting fiesh, fine texture, juicy.
  • Fresh fruit quality Superior to either Redhaven unpatented or Triogem unpatented, two well known early varieties than ripen in approximately the same season as this variety.
  • Maturity The fruit is firm ripe in one hundred and twenty six days from full bloom. Elberta reaches a comparable maturity in one hundred and fifty-four days from full bloom. The fruit clings well to the tree at harvest time and does not drop off as Elberta.
  • the amount of pubescence is light (short and rather thin).
  • the peel is medium in thickness and separates very easily from the flesh at cannery ripeness.
  • Stone Medium in size; obovate in form.
  • the base angle of the stone is medium and angle at the apex is wide.
  • the surface markings consist of numerous shallow grooves radiating from the base. Beyond these grooves are deep pits and chains of pits which become deep grooves across the body of the peach stone. The surface markings closely resemble those of the Late Crawford unpatented variety.
  • the dorsal suture or ridge is medium in height and width with deep line markings.
  • the ventral suture is medium in height.
  • peach tree substantially as herein shown and described, characterized by its early and prolific production of fruit, having very little red in the pit cavity which disappears upon processing, and which upon processing, prodluces a delicate high flavored peach.
