Definitions
- the present invention relates to a peach tree and more particularly to a new and distinct variety thereof broadly characterized by a moderately vigorous tree, regularly bearing fruit which is large and firm and has a red blush and stripe covering one-fourth to three-fourths of its surface, depending on exposure to sun, age of tree, pruning, fertilizing and watering, and a bright yellow undercolor. It is further characterized by having a longer than usual stem, thus reducing the amount of stem crease in large fruit, and by the stem clinging tightly to the fruit and to the twig and thereby resulting in almost no dropping of fruit as it matures. The fruit ripens in late September to early October in Fresno and Tulare counties in California.
- peach most nearly resembles Merrill Halloween I (U.S. P.P'. 1,473), ripening about the same time but distinguishable therefrom and an improvement thereon by its redder skin color, its longer stern which clings more tightly to the fruit and the twig and results in much less natural drop as the fruit matures (as is common with Halloween I), and by a less vigorous tree which enables it to be planted closer and grown lower so a shorter ladder and less effort is required to prune, thin, and pick the fruit.
- the accompanying drawing is an oil painting of a characteristic mature fruit of the subject variety showing the shape and skin color, and by means of a fruit divided on its suture plane, showing the flesh and stone color and the freedom of the flesh from the stone in a mature fruit.
- Claim TREE Size medium size, vigor and density; may be pruned to vase shape.
- Trunk straight, medium stocky, shaggy and gray.
- Lenticels medium in size and quantity.
- Twigs medium size with medium internode length; current seasons brown, green and red; older growth, brown and gray.
- LEAVES Shape lanceolate; tip accuminate. Size: as taken from new growth 18 to 24 inches long:
- Color dark green on upper surface; medium green on under surface; light yellowish green ssen on the under surface.
- Petiole generally about inch long.
- FLOWERS Buds medium in size, free, plump pubescent.
- Size and shape variable; generally large and globose except at stem end which is slightly retuse; 2% to 3 inches in axial diameter, 2% to 3% inches transverse in the suture plane, 3 to 3% inches at right angle to suture plane (cheek to cheek).
- Suture slightly depressed, with slight roughness on most, extending from base beyond but discontinuous at apex, and with slight depression beyond pistil point.
- Cavity flaring moderately, elongated in suture plane and showing on both sides; depth to /2 inch, breadth to 1 /8 inches; marking same as skin surface and showing red when exposed to sun.
- Stem /s to /2 inch in length, longer than on most peaches; diameter inch; strongly attached to peach and twig.
- Amygdelin moderate.
- Fibers moderate, fine.
- Flavor delicate.
- Thickness medium.
- Flavor sweet.
- STONE Color light brown, 12-G-8 to Raw Umber 15-A-12. Tenacity: completely free except adheres to flesh slightly on ventral edge on some fruit when slightly immature. Fibers: few, short, accuminate.
- Size 1% to 1% inches in length, 1%; to 1 in width, 11 to in thickness. Larger when stone is naturally split.
- Ventral edge thick with thingrooves.
- Dorsal edge narrow with one deep groove, narrowing toward apex.
- Tendency tosplit some, but split does not usually extend to flesh.
