  • the primary objective of this breeding was to produce an improved variety of peach tree characterized by bearing yellow-fleshed fruit whichhas a very early ripening habit. This objective was fully achieved along with other improvements, as evidenced by the following unique combination of characteristics which distinguish the new variety from its parents, as well as from all other varieties of which I am aware:
  • the unnamed parent varieties were sister seedlings, with the seed parent being a yellow-fleshed, freestone peach variety which 'Was very productive and had a moderately low chilling requirement, with the fruit ripening a few days after the variety July Elberta (Plant Patent No. 15), and the fruit being large, well-shaped and having a moderate red blush, while being of very good quality and flavor.
  • the new variety ripens earlier, from 6 to 7 weeks ahead, with the fruit being somewhat smaller and having more red coloring.
  • the pollen parent wasa very productive yellow-fleshed, freestone peach variety, with a chilling requirement slightly higher than the variety June Gold, the fruit of g which was of medium size, symmetrical and nearly round, with a very attractive red blush or mottle, and ripening a few days after the variety June Gold.
  • the fruit of the new variety ripens from two and a half (2 /2) to three (3) weeks earlier, and the fruit is of slightly smaller size.
  • the new variety is also distinguished from its ancestor Flamingo by the smaller size of its fruit and its much earlier ripening period, contrary to the mid-season ripening period of Flamingo.
  • the fruit of the new variety is yellow-fleshed, while the other varieties are white-fleshed.

  • Ridgway Color Standards and Nomenclature
  • Colon-Green at first, but reddish on exposed surfaces, with lenticels appearing as small, nearly white dots; all becoming more brown with age.
  • Glands.Renif0rm large size; at least 3, but often from 4 to 6 in number; borne both on the petiole and on the base of the blade.
  • Form Relatively uniform; nearly symmetrical; globose.
  • Suture Generally shallow and insignificant, extending from base to apex; slight depression beyond pistil point.
  • Ventral surface Rounded, but sometimes slightly lipped toward'base and apex, and often not lipped at all.
  • Stem cavity Somewhat rounded; elongated in suture plane; with suture showing on one side. Depth.About A inch to inch. Width.-About /2 inch to inch.
  • Base From rounded to truncate.
  • Apex Short; insignificant; apical pistil point.
  • Stem Medium caliper; glabrous; from medium to weak adherence to stone. Lengthabout /2 inch.
  • Skin Average /2 inch.
