Definitions
- the present invention relates to a peach tree and more particularly to a new and distinct variety thereof broadly characterized by its vigorous growth and its regular bearing habits, and by its fruit which is large, with a red blush over about half of the surface, and has firm flesh which remains firm While the fruit is on the tree so only one or two pickings are needed, but which softens a few days after being picked into a meaty to melting flesh which completely parts from the stone in many fruits when ripened under these conditions.
- the accompanying drawing is an oil painting of a characteristic fruit of the subject variety showing its outside shape and skin color and, by means of the division of a second characteristic fruit on its suture plane, its flesh coloration, stone coloration, and freedom of the flesh from the stone.
- Trunk straight, medium stocky, shaggy, gray.
- Main branches straight with some bending, gray on older branches, brown on younger branches.
- Lenticels medium in quantity, medium size.
- Twigs medium size, medium internode length, green on current seasons growth, brown on older growth.
- Leaves location from center stalk of terminal branches 30 to 36 inches long; size, generally medium, 3% to 7% inches long, A to 1% inches wide; medium thickness; lanceolate; tip, accuminate; color, upper surface dark green, lower surface lighter green; veins very light yellowish green; class (Meader & Blake: Proceedings of the American Society for Horticultural Science, vol. 37, p. 203), 3 on larger leaves, 2 on smaller leaves; margin, crenate, glandular; petiole, medium size; glands, reniform, l to 5 in number, medium size, alternate yellow green, located at base of leaf and on petiole; stipules, present on new leaves dropping off early.
- FLOWER BUDS Medium size, plump, pubescent, free.
- Size generally large for that season; diameter, axially 2% to 2 /4 inches, transverse in suture plane 2% to 3 inches, right angle to suture plane 2 /8 to 2 /8 inches.
- Shape generally cordate to nearly globose with tip acuminate.
- Suture shallow depression; extends from base to near apex but discontinues at apex; has slight depression beyond pistil dorsal surface; rounded.
- Cavity abrupt; elongated in suture plane showing on both sides; depth 1 to /2 inch; breadth /2 to inch; markings, yellow with red blush where exposed to sun.
- Apex mucronate; pistil point apical, very short.
- Stem length, A to inch; diameter, /8 inch; frequently adheres to stone.
- Skin medium thick, medium tough, sweet, tenacious to flesh; color, light yellow 9-L-1 to darker yellow 9L9 with red blush from light red 1G11 to medium red l-K-ll to darker red 6-L-6; pubescence, scant.
- Flesh color light yellow 9I1 to medium yellow 9K5 with some light red around the stone; amygdalin moderate; juice moderate to abundant; texture, firm and meaty; fibers, fine, moderate in quantity; ripens evenly; flavor, mild delicate vinuous; firmness, good, uniform, and persistent while fruit remains on tree; aroma, distinct; eating quality, best.
- Stone completely free when fruit is picked firm ripe and further ripened off the tree, semi-free when fruit is ripened on the tree, cling when hard ripe; fibers, few and short; size, medium 1% to 1% inches long, 1 to 1% inches wide, to A; inch thick; form, obovate; base, straight to oblique; hilum, oval; apex, acuminate; sides unequal, flattened on one side; surface irregularly furrowed near base and near apex; pitted toward base, pits elongated; ventral edge, thick with a few small grooves, and with large grooves on each side dorsal edge, deep groove toward base extending about half way to apex; color, when first removed from the fruit, light brown 11-D-7 to medium brown 13-E10 to dark brown 8-H-l2 in grooves and pits.
- a new and distinct variety of peach substantially as illustrated and described, which is characterized by the vigorous growth and regular bearing habits of the tree; and by its fruit which is large for its season, and has a red blush over half of its surface and firm flesh which remains firm on the tree so only one or two pickings are neecssary but which soften a few days after picking, and which is then completely free from the stone in most fruit; and which most nearly resembles Harmony (U.S. Plant Pat. No. 2,152) but is distinguished therefrom in that it ripens about one week earlier, has more red in its skin color, and remains firm longer on the tree.
