Definitions
- the present invention relates to a peach tree and more particularly to a new and distinct variety thereof broadly characterized by the late ripening of its freestone fruit which is fairly well colored and which has good characteristics as a frozen product.
- the instant variety most nearly resembles Merrill Halloween No. 1 (U.S. Plant Pat. No. 1,473) but is distinguished therefrom and is an improvement thereon by reason of its having more red on the skin, showing better flesh color and texture when frozen, and having less tendency to drop as the fruit becomes ripe.
- I originated the present variety on the form formerly owned by me at Red Bluif, Tehama County, Calif, by planting seeds of Kirkman Gem which produced a seedling, numbered 14-21 for reference purposes. Seeds of this seedling were then planted and these produced a seedling, numbered 77-11O for reference purposes, which is the instant variety.
- the accompanying drawing is an oil painting of a characteristic mature fruit of the subject peach variety showing the shape and skin color, and by means of a fruit divided on its suture, showing flesh and stone color and characteristics.
- Shape Large size, medium spreading.
- Trunk Medium stocky, shaggy, gray in color.
- Lenticels Medium to small in size, numerous.
- LEAVES (Selected from mid-portion of vigorous terminal shoots) Shape: Lanceolate, tip accuminate.
- Size Medium size, length 4 to 8 inches, width 1%2 inches, medium thick.
- Petiole Medium size, medium length.
- Glands Reniform, alternate, medium large, at base of leaf and on petiole.
- FLOWERS Buds Medium size, plump, free, pubescent.
- Size Generally large, and globose but variable in size and shape; axial diameter, 2 /2 to 3% inches; transverse in suture plane 2 /2 to 3% inches; and at right angles to suture plane 2% to 3% inches.
- Suture inconspicuous to distinct line, extends from base toward apex but discontinues adjacent apex.
- Ventral surface Rounded, lightly lipped on most, lips generally unequal.
- Cavity Rounded, to slightly elongated in suture plane with suture showing on both sides; depth /z to /3 inch; breadth to 1 inch; and markings the same yellow as on skin with red blush when exposed to sun.
- Apex From ernarginate to mucronate, pistil point slight and apical.
- Skin Medium thick, medium tender, tenacious to flesh; down, moderate to scant, short; color, mostly yellow 9-1-3 to 9I8 with red covering from none to half the surface, but averaging about one-fourth, and varying from 3-I11 to 6-L-7 to 7-I6.
- Flesh Color, clear bright yellow 9-K-6 with bright red 6-L-6 around the stone and in a few flecks in the adjacent flesh, and a very desirable color for freezing commercially; amygdalin, moderate; juice, moderate; texture, firm, fine, meaty, and buttery when frozen; fibers, few, fine, and tender; ripens, evenly; flavor, subacid, mild, and delicate; aroma, distinct; eating quality, good;
- Stone Color, from dark brown 48-L-9 to lighter brown 14-A-12 when first removed from the fruit; free; fibers, long; size, length 1% to 1 /2 inches, breadth to 1% inches, thickness to /s inch; form, obovate, tip accuminate; base, straight to oblique; hilum, oval; apex, accuminate; sides, most nearly equal, some unequal; surface, generally with small pits and grooves near base, larger grooves and pits near apex; pits, irregularly shaped; ventral edge, thick with many fine grooves and some with larger grooves from base to apex; dorsal edge, narrow with generally one deep groove from base to apex; tendency to split, slight.
- a new and distinct peach tree substantially as illustrated and described and being characterized by its very late season of ripening, its good skin color for that season, a flesh texture and color found good for commercial freezing, and its ability to hold the fruit on the tree as ripening approaches, and mostly nearly resembling Merrill Halloween No. l (U.S. Plant Pat. 1,473), but an improvement on that variety by its higher skin color, its better freezing qualities, and its increased ability to hold fruit on the tree when approaching ripeness.
