Abstract
A new and distinct peach tree variety which originated as a bud mutation of the Loring Peach variety (unpatented) is provided. The fruit of the variety ripens approximately 10 to 14 days earlier than that of the Loring Peach variety, and develops a more intense red color over nearly all of its surface well before the date the fruit softens.
Description
The new and distinct variety of peach tree originated in 1965 as a bud mutation of the Loring Peach variety in my orchard maintained on cultivated property in McCracken County, Ky. fronting on Olivet Church Road and lying between the P. & I. Railroad and the I. C. Railroad.
The fruit of the variety is of excellent quality and is substantially identical to that of the Loring Peach variety (unpatented) in size, texture and flavor. However, the fruit ripens approximately 10 to 14 days earlier than that of the Loring Peach variety and develops a much more intense red blush over nearly all of its surface (e.g. 80 percent of its surface) approximately 8 to 10 days prior to harvest maturity. Accordingly, the color of the fruit of the new variety is considered to be more attractive than that of the Loring Peach variety.
Because of the distinctive characteristics of the new variety the plant was asexually reproduced by budding. This propagation shows that the unique combination of characteristics comes true to form and is established and transmitted in succeeding propagation. The specimens described herein were grown and observed near Louisiana, Mo.
The accompanying drawing shows typical specimens of the fruit and foliage of my new variety as depicted in color as nearly true as it is reasonably possible to make the same in a color illustration of this character.
