  • the pits of the instant varietys stone are generally circular whereas those of the Sherrill variety are elongated.
  • Type Cling except when ripened ofi tree-then some Semi-free when firm ripe, free when soft ripe. Cling.
  • the instant variety most nearly resembles Vestals variety but is an improvement thereon in that it ripens about ten days earlierthe instant variety being firm to eating soft ripe by June 6th and the Vestal variety being firm ripe with few eating ripe by June 16.
  • the present variety is distinctive from the Vestal and Sherrill (Plant Patents 1,716 and 2,102, respectively) in the following particulars.

  • the fruit is of variable shape, generally globose and has a marked suture depression beyond the pistil point and a pronounced mucronate apex.
  • the Vestal variety is a productive tree having finely serrated leaves having 0 to 7 glands. Its fruit ripens evenly with the fruit firm ripe, and a few eating ripe, by June 1'6ten days later than the instant variety.
  • Sherrill variety is a very productive tree with finely serrated leaves bearing no stipules. Its fruit is uniform in shape, ripens evenly and has a distinct shallow suture extending from base to apex with the suture showing on only one side, whereas the instant variety has the suture showing on both sides.
  • the instant variety has moderate down which rolls up the limb budded and produced fruit which came on earlier than the fruit from other limbs on the tree or on other trees in the orchard.
