Abstract
A pear tree which is of medium size and vigor, rapid growing, upright and tall with straight branches, vase-formed, hardy, foliated with medium size, ovate, taper-pointed, smooth, dark green leaves having a crenate to finely serrate margin, blooms with medium size, light pink to white flowers, and is a regular and productive to very productive bearer of large, uniform size, late ripening, juicy, sweet fleshed fruit; the fruit--in shape--being oblate and conical, ovate, oblique, symmetrical, and uniform, and the fruit having very waxy, highly glossy, deep red to purple-red skin, and white flesh.
Description
1. Field of the Invention
In the normal course of my agricultural activities, in the operation of an orchard and as an owner of a commercial fruit tree nursery, both located near Newcastle, Placer County, Calif., I am cognizant of the normal characteristics of many such trees, including pear trees. Hence, when unusual characteristics are observed by me in such a fruit tree, I am aware thereof. It is against this background that the present variety was originated.
2. Classification of the Variety
The present variety of pear tree is embraced by Class 36, Plants, of the U.S. Patent Office Manual of Classification.
3. Prior Varieties
Among existing varieties of pear trees which are known to me and mentioned herein are the Anjou, Bartlett, Comice, Sensation (all unpatented), and the Rosired (Rosired-Bartlett) (U.S. Plant Pat. No. 2,012).
The present variety of pear tree was originated by me as follows:
Seeds--selected at random from fruit of Anjou, Bartlett, Comice, Sensation, and Rosired pear trees in the aforementioned orchard--were planted and grown, in a large number, in nursery rows at the aforementioned fruit tree nursery. The resultant seedling pear trees were maintained under close, careful, and continuing observation, and, in maturity, one such seedling tree evidenced substantial promise as a commercial variety and was, therefore, selected by me for further testing and propagation.
Asexual reproduction of the present variety of pear tree was successfully accomplished under my direction in said commercial nursery by budding; and such asexual reproductions, in maturity, ran true to the original seedling pear tree in all respects.
The present variety of pear tree is, characteristically, of medium size and vigor, rapid growing, upright and tall with straight branches, vase-formed, hardy, foliated with medium size, ovate, taper-pointed, smooth, dark green leaves having a crenate to finely serrate margin, blooms with medium size, light pink to white flowers, and is a regular and productive to very productive bearer of large, uniform size, late ripening, juicy, sweet fleshed fruit; the fruit--in shape--being oblate and conical, ovate, oblique, symmetrical, and uniform, and the fruit having very waxy, highly glossy, deep red to purple-red skin, and white flesh.
The present variety of pear tree is further characterized in the following respects:
While the growth habit of the tree is generally the same as the Rosired, the bark is more red to reddish purple in comparison to the gray-red or red-brown of the Rosired. At maturity, the trunk and branches have much the same coloring as the Bartlett.
The fruit is of a shape similar to the Rosired, but with some characteristics of the Comice, such as the slightly furrowed basin and the depth thereof.
The exterior color or blush of the fruit is a more true red than the maroon shade of the Rosired, and the fruit does not have the russeting and scab problems of the latter variety. At hard-ripe harvest, the fruit is a deep red to purple red, which lightens slightly when the fruit is eating ripe.
The fruit--which is juicy, sweet fleshed, of very good market quality, and possessed of substantial storage longevity--is in harvest for approximately one month, and which harvest extends about three weeks beyond the last picking of the Rosired.
The skin of the fruit is thicker than the Rosired, and has a very waxy surface which not only protects the fruit, but provides a high gloss especially when the skin is polished.
The drawing is an illustration, by photographic reproduction in color, of a twig with leaves, and separate fruit of the variety; one fruit being half cut away to expose the flesh.
