United States Patent m 2,497 PEACH TREE John R. Borghello, 415 N. Olive Ave, and Angelo Ertassi, 1232 Brady Ave., both of Modesto, Calif. Filed Jan. 31, 1964, Ser. No. 341,819 1 Claim. (Cl. Plt.-43)
This discovery relates to a new and distinctive variety of peach tree which bears large, clingstone fruit having yellow flesh, and yellow skin partially overspread with red.
The present variety of peach tree is distinctively characterized, in comparison to other peach varieties in the same area and \under like growing conditions, in the following respects:
On the average, the fruit ripens and is in harvest immediately following the Paloro and two or three days ahead of the Gaurne; this being of substantial commercial advantage in that a desirable picking sequence is established.
Further, in each year and without exception, the Variety has set an extremely heavy crop; the fruit sizing very well, being consistently large, and without the split pits common to other peach varieties that produce large fruit.
The present variety of peach tree was discovered by us growing as a chance seedling in a Halfond orchard on our ranch located near Hughson, in the county of Stanislaus, State of California.
Upon such discovery of the variety and recognition by us of the hereinbefore described novel features thereof,
the variety was asexually reproduced by budding; this having been undertaken for our account and under our control and direction by a commercial nursery located near Modesto, county of Stanislaus, State of California. Such asexual reproductions were subsequently planted by us on our ranch located as aforesaid. In maturity, such asexual reproductions of the variety ran true to the parent in all respects.
The drawing comprises an illustration, by photographic reproduction in color, of a twig with fruit and leaves; a whole fruit; and a fruit cut in half to expose the flesh, and with the stone remaining in place.
Referring now more specifically to the promolo-gical details of this new and distinct variety of peach tree, the following is an outline description thereof; all major color plate identifications, by comparison with fresh specimens, being by reference to Maerz and Paul Dictionary of Color, except where common terms of color definition are employed.
