Abstract
A variety of peach tree which is of large size, vigorous growth; the tree being a productive and regular bearer of large, firm, yellow flesh, early ripening clingstone fruit, with a high degree of red skin color.
Description
The new variety of peach tree was originated by me in my experimental orchard at Modesto, Calif. It was selected from a number of second generation seedlings of a cross between Ruby Gold nectarine (U.S. Plant Pat. No. 3,101) and a peach seedling of unknown parentage.
The present variety was asexually propagated by grafting and budding, as performed at Modesto, Calif., shows that said characteristics described above proved to be identical with the original peach tree. I maintained the selection under careful and continual observation, during which time I recognized its distinct and desirable characteristics described above and selected the variety for reproduction.
My invention relates to a new and distinct variety of peach which bears yellow flesh clingstone fruit, characterized by early ripening, a high degree of red skin color and greater firmness than the present commercial varieties within this ripening period. The ripening period being approximately 3 to 4 days later than Armgold peach, (U.S. Plant Pat. No. 2,399). The new variety is further characterized by having fruit that colors two to three weeks before ripening, having large, firm, more highly colored fruit than other early varieties.
The accompanying photographs show typical specimens of the foliage and fruit of my new variety, with upper and lower surfaces of the foliage being illustrated and exterior and a sectional view of the fruit being shown. These illustrations were taken shortly after being picked at maturity (shipping ripe) and the color are as nearly true as reasonably possible in color representations of this type.
The following is a detailed description of the foliage and fruit of my new variety, as based upon observations of specimens grown at Modesto, Calif., with color terminology in accordance with Reinhold Color Atlas by A. Kornerup and J. H. Wanscher.
