Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a peach tree and more particularly to a new and distinct variety thereof broadly characterized by vigorous and regular bearing; early bloom; and the production of early ripening, red-skinned firmly textured yellow-fleshed peaches.
  • the flesh of the fruit of the instant variety is further distinguished from that of the Merrill Gemfree in its more brilliant yellow coloring with a minimum of red fiecking when firm ripe, in having a better flavor, in having a more melting consistency when soft ripe, and in a reduced tendency to oxidize, or brown, when exposed to air.
  • the Merrill Gemfree in its more brilliant yellow coloring with a minimum of red fiecking when firm ripe, in having a better flavor, in having a more melting consistency when soft ripe, and in a reduced tendency to oxidize, or brown, when exposed to air.
  • the accompanying drawing is a dye transfer color print of a photograph of a soft ripe fruit of the subject variety which was permitted to ripen on the tree for true skin color and divided on its suture plane to reveal flesh coloration and pit characteristics.
  • Trunk Medium stocky, medium smooth. Branches: Lenticels, numerous, medium sized. Leaves (selected from midportion of vigorous unbranched terminal shoots 12" to 18" long):
  • Axial diameter.2%” to 2% average 27 under normal environmental and horticultural conditions with usual thinning to space fruit 6" to 8" on fruit bearing branches.
  • Form Variable, generally globose, somewhat eliptical before maturity, has slight suture and apical point.
  • Colon-Brilliant yellow (SY 9/9) to (SY 8/12) to greenish yellow (lO-Y 9/9) near the pit, little or no red when firm ripe.
  • Yellow red (SYR 9/ 4) to moderate orange-yellow (10YR 8/ 10) with some red flecking when soft ripe as shown in the drawing.
  • Brilliant yellow (SY 9/ 9) when soft ripe.
  • pistil point Stone Adheres to flesh when hard ripe, entirely free when soft ripe when permitted to ripen off the tree.
  • Ventral edge-Thick occasionally with wing toward base.
  • Plant Patent No. 15 A new and distinct variety of peach tree substantially as illustrated and described and which is characterized by its vigorous growth, its early blooming about the same time as the July Elberta of US.
  • Plant Patent No. 15 Plant Patent No. 15; and its regular and heavy bearing of freestone, red-skinned, firm textured, yellow fleshed peaches which ripen a few days earlier than the Merrill Gemfree of US.
  • Plant Patent No 1,409 which it most nearly resembles but from which it is distinguished in its fruit having a more brilliant yellow colored flesh firm ripe which frees from the stone when soft ripe after being permitted to ripen off the tree, has superior flavor, softens into a more melting consistency when soft ripe and has greater resistance to oxidation when exposed to air.
