Definitions

  • This invention relates to a novel variety of freestone white peach which is a seedling of unknown origin. This seedling was discovered eight (8) years ago. The fruit of this new variety favors the wild peach in coloration, and is the size of the Elberta. This peach is very juicy, sweet and firm-the flavor is very distinct and new. It is free of tannin, the acidity is definitely lower than the standard Elberta and the bitterness is much less than the standard Elberta. Its sweetness is definitely better than the Polly or Mé. Its flesh is of a very fine texture and is not stringy. This is a very desirable tasting peach. The seed (pit) and flesh surrounding the pit are a deep red.
  • Skin coloration is distinct, being a dull, cherry red mottled with darker oxblood red on one side, about onethird, and the other two-thirds is a cream color. It is very good as a canned fruit; requires less sweetening than most peaches. It ripens between late August and the first week of September. It does not have much fuzz. The blossoms are single and are as large as a half dollar. They are dark red in color; the last for several days before fading. The tree is resistant to heat, cold and disease.
  • Tree Medium to smallish in size; moderately vigorous; vase shaped; moderately productive; annual bearer.
  • the base is flattened with stem cavity medium ibroad (18 mm); moderately deep (13 mm), rounded to slightly compressed in suture plane and somewhat irregular along basal edge.
  • the dorsal edge (opposite suture edge) is full from bottom to near apex; broad and moderately flattened except for slight depression at apex to form shallow lipping.
  • the stem is from 7 to 12 mm. long; about 4 mm. in diameter.
  • Fruit adherence to stem is medium to strong. Skin is medium to thin, moderately tender; separates from flesh readily; free from cracking.
  • Flesh.COl0r white with streaks of medium to dark red piercing the flesh close to the stone.
  • the surface of pit cavity is stippled and dotted with red (geranium lake).
  • Texture is medium to firm; fine melting; fibres are fine and tender; juice abundant; moderately sweet; very sweet when fully ripe.
  • Ripens uniformally over entire fruit. Fruit usually ripens uniformally on tree. Flavor is mild, subacid, delicategood balance between sugar and acids. Aroma not pronounced. Quality as dessert or canned is good to very good.
  • Stone-Moderately free Size medium to small, 1%" to 1%" in length. Breadth is W to V8". Thickness, to form is elliptical, with medium wide base and tapered wedge, cuneate apex. The hilum at base is small and narrow. Sides equal to slightly unequal, strongly curved on both sides. Surface moderately smooth with shallow furrows and indentations, no prominent markings. Dorsal and ventral edge: Each is uniform with shallow, fine groove from base to apex. Color of stone is medium brown with red along both ventral and dorsal edge. No tendency of stone to split.
  • a new and distinct variety of peach tree of the Whiteflesh, freestone class substantially as herein shown and described, particularly characterized as to novelty by the unique combination of the coloration of the wild peach and the size of the Elberta, by its large and showy blossoms and by the fine texture, abundance of juice,
