Definitions
- My new variety of peach tree originated as a seedling produced by crossing Hale Early (unpatented), as the seed parent, with Salwey (unpatented) as the pollen parent and its growth habit and fruit product have shown the foregoing objectives to have been accomplished, together with other desirable characteristics.
- the parentage was controlled by hand pollination and covering.
- the tree is very sturdy and is a rapid grower producing very well in its third year.
- the fruit ripens in the latter part of August, at a time that does not conict with other white peaches, most of which ripen in June, July and early August, and the fruit is of larger size and improved flavor compared to the other white peach varieties.
- the new variety appears to have the vigorous growing habit of the late Salwey and, like Hale Early, its fruit has a very favorable flavor and a line juicy texture, thus avoiding the mealy texture and poor flavor of the pollen parent.
- the fruit is of a uniform, large size with a distinctive flavor and aroma of its own.
- the pubescence of the skin is coarse and does not have the wooly feel of an ordinary peach and when the fruit is ripe the skin will peel off, without a knife, leaving a white juicy peach havingr a delicious taste.
- this new variety is particularly desirable as a fresh market peach.
- a distinctive feature of my new variety resides in the fact that the bearing wood has a tendency to run into at least two different colors. Green and red predominate and one shades into the other. This characteristic cou- ⁇ tinues until the wood is two years old when there is a change to a brown coloration as the cambium layer becomes thicker.
- the bearing wood of most peach varieties is of reddish coloring during the first year of growth.
- the growing habit of my new variety is similar to that of the variety Elberta, which is inclined to be bushy. I find, however, that my new variety can be trained easily to grow upward or can be held to a compact form, as may be desired. In either case, the new variety makes a beautiful tree and all that is required is ⁇ the average cultural practice to produce abundant crops -of very line uniformly sized fruit, which is distinguished from other varieties by its appearance, size, texture, flavor, aroma, and ripening date.
- the accompanying drawing shows in full color the whole fruit of my new variety of peach tree and an axial section of the fruit to illustrate its internal characteristics.
- the illustration also shows foliage of the new variety in ice color and a pen and ink sketch, showing an enlarged fragmentary view of the skin of .the fruit, drawn Ato a scale twelve times that of the fruit and foliage, to illustrate the distinctive nature of the pubescence.
- the tree Shape Bushy and compact.
- Normal height Held to twelve to fifteen feet by pruning.
- the flowers Buds The flowers Buds:
- COZor.-21Bl for light colored parts; 15-H-1 for dark colored parts.
- Blooming period March 10th normally, and for the time of an ordinary peach blossom.
- Shape Cupped when first opening-form does not change, resembling the iiowers of Elberta in appearance.
- Nectar peach tree The fruit of my new variety of peach tree resembles the Nectar peach in general, although Nectar is an early peach and does not size up to the new variety. Also, the flavor and appearance of the new variety are far superior to Nectar.
- Other white peaches presently marketed are early ripening varieties, mostly smallerin size and of inferior flavor compared to my new variety which has an attractive appearance and nds favor with all who see it and eat it.
