the present inventionrelates to a new and distinct variety of peach tree which was discovered by me in my cultivated orchard near Hammonton, in the county of Atlantic, State of New Jersey, said new variety originating as a limb sport of the variety known as Redhaven (unpaten-ted).
the fruithas a tendency to be almost free from browning of the flesh when out and exposed to air, as confirmed by the fruit of second and third generation trees.
the fruitalso attains an exceptionally large size, even on very young bearing trees. While the tree growth, fruit shape and color more nearly resemble those of the parent variety than any other, the fruit of my new sport is of a more distinct freestone type than is the case with the regular Redhaven, and the fruit ripens from about 7 to 10 days earlier, which is an important advantage from a commercial standpoint.
the high color of the fruitmakes it especially attractive and desirable for commercial markets.
TreeLarge; vigorous; spreading; from dense to open; round-topped; hardy; very productive; regular bearer.
Suture-Distinctshallow; extends from base to beyond apex; has slight, marked depression beyond pistil point.
