Definitions
- the present invention is directed to a new and distinct variety of peach tree which bears yellow-fleshed, semifreestone fruit.
- the new variety disclosed herein is a sport, and finds its origin in the Coronet, an unpatented variety.
- a specific advantage offered by the new variety hereof is that it permits the penetration of more distant markets by virtue of its improved shipping qualities over present varieties such as Hiland, an unpatented variety. This results in stabilizing the markets in areas such as the State of Georgia.
- a further advantage offered by the new variety hereof is that it is not troublesome with respect to dormancy and thus is more suitable, for example, than the Cardinal, an unpatented variety.
- the discovery and development of the new variety was the result of continuous patrolling in our orchards in Crawford County, Georgia for the purpose of achieving an early variety having the flavor, quality, size, eye appeal and shipping endurance of the mid-season and late season varieties.
- the new variety originated as a limb sport and'was discovered by us in 1958 at which time a bud from the new peach tree was grafted into a 3-year old growing Red Cap tree, an unpatented variety. We were successful in getting the new peach tree to come to a true bud. This graft bore fruit in 1960 and has been carefully checked during the years 1960, 1961, 1962 and 1963.
- the new variety has been repeatedly, successfully asexually reproduced by bud grafting, and like the aforesaid discovery and development, the asexual reproduction took place in our orchard in Crawford County, Georgia.
- the ripening date of the new variety precedes that of the Coronet, an unpatented variety, by two to three weeks, normally 16 days. Moreover, the ripening period of the new variety precedes that of the late season Elberta, an unpatented variety, by approximately seven weeks,
- Plant Pat. 2,439 Patented Aug. 25, 1964 Still further, the new variety has a ripening date which is from two to four days earlier than the present Hiland, an unpatented variety, and the present Cardinal, an unpatented variety.
- the new variety is approximately A1 inch smaller, on average size than the Coronet. (New variety has an average size of 2 /8 inches, whereas Coronet has an average size of 2% inches.)
- the new variety has substantially percent less fuzz than the Coronet. (Coronet variety used as standard percent, whereupon by comparison new variety has approximately 30 percent fuzz.)
- the new variety has substantially 100 hours more than the Coronet variety, the Coronet variety having 750/ 950, and the new variety having 850/950.
- the new variety has a superior taste in season to Coronet, and does not deteriorate at maturity as early as Coronet.
