Abstract
This new and distinct variety of Peach tree which is of large size, vigorous upright growth, being a productive and regular bearer of medium to large, firm, yellow flesh, clingstone fruit having yellow skin substantially overspread with red. The fruit is further characterized by its early maturity, good eating quality, firm flesh and the ability to ship to long distance markets.
Description
The present variety of peach tree was developed by me in my experimental orchard located in Modesto, Calif., as a second generation seedling of a cross between Sam Houston Peach (non-patented) and May Grand Nectarine (U.S. Plant Pat. No. 2,794). I maintained the selection under careful and continual observation during which time I recognized its desireable characteristics described above and selected the variety for reproduction.
The present variety of peach tree was asexually propagated by budding and grafting, as performed by me at Modesto, Calif., shows that said characteristics come true to form and are established and transmitted through succeeding propagations.
The present variety of peach tree is of large size, vigorous, upright in growth and productive and regular bearer of large size, early ripening, yellow flesh, clingstone fruit. The fruit is further characterized by having a high degree of red skin color, uniform ripening, firm flesh and good eating and shipping quality.
The accompanying photographs show typical specimens of the fruit and foliage of the new variety, with the upper and lower surfaces of the leaves being illustrated and a fruit divided on its suture plane to reveal flesh coloration and showing a stone remaining in place. The illustrations were taken shortly after being picked at maturity (shipping ripe) and the colors are as nearly true as reasonably possible in a color representation of this type.
The botanical details of this new and distinct variety of peach tree, as based upon observations of specimens grown at Modesto, Calif., with color terminology in accordance with Reinhold Color Atlas by A. Korneruf and J. H. Wanscher.
