Abstract
A peach tree which is of medium size, medium vigor, spreading, dense, vase-formed, hardy, foliated with medium size, oval-lanceolate, acutely pointed leaves, blooms with large, pink flowers, and is a regular and very productive bearer of medium-large size, globose, freestone fruit having apricot skin substantially overspread with dark red, and yellow flesh with red streaked and mottled into the flesh from the pit cavity.
Description
1. Field of the Discovery
The present new and distinct variety of peach tree is embraced by Class 43, Plants, of the United States Patent Office Manual of Classification.
2. Prior Varieties
Among the existent varieties of peach trees which are known to me, I make particular reference to the O'Henry (U.S. Plant Pat. No. 2,964)--mentioned hereinafter in this specification.
The present variety of peach tree was discovered by me while harvesting an orchard of peaches of the O'Henry variety growing on my ranch located at 15839 East Rose, Kingsburg, Fresno County, Calif.; the variety having been first noticed apparently as a bud sport limb growing on a tree of the O'Henry variety, and which limb bore fruit which ripened substantially later than the other fruit in such orchard. Upon my discovery of such individually distinct limb, and recognizing its possible commercial value as a new and distinct variety, I determined to effect asexual reproduction thereof.
The present variety of peach tree was asexually reproduced, on my behalf and by a commercial nursery, by budding, and such asexual reproductions--in maturity--ran true to the original bud sport limb in all respects.
The herein-claimed variety of peach tree is of medium size, medium vigor, spreading, dense, vase-formed, hardy, foliated with medium size, oval-lanceolate, acutely pointed leaves, blooms with large, pink flowers, and is a regular and very productive bearer of medium-large size, globose, freestone fruit having apricot skin substantially overspread with dark red, and yellow flesh with red streaked and mottled into the flesh from the pit cavity.
The herein-claimed variety of peach tree--while having general similarity to the O'Henry variety in tree and fruit--is distinctively characterized by a ripening period approximately ten days after completion of the harvest of said O'Henry variety.
The drawing is an illustration, by photographic reproduction in color, of a number of separate fruit; one such fruit being cut into halves, with the stone remaining in one half.
