Abstract
The new variety of peach tree characterized by its dwarf size (6 to 7 ft.), non-vigorous, dense and spreading in growth, the tree having dense foliage, large showy pink flowers and a regular and productive bearer of large size, early ripening, firm, yellow flesh, freestone fruit with excellent eating quality.
Description
The present variety of peach tree was originated by me in my experimental orchard, located near Modesto, Calif., as a selected seedling from a large number of second generation seedlings, from a cross between Spring Crest Peach (unpatented) and a genetic dwarf peach seedling of unknown parentage. The selection was maintained under careful and continual observation, during which time it was selected for reproduction due to its distinct and desireable characteristics.
The present variety of peach tree was asexually propagated by budding as performed by me in my experimental orchard at Modesto, Calif., shows that said characteristic come true to form and are established and transmitted through succeeding propagations.
The herein variety relates to a new and distinct variety of peach tree which is dwarf in size (6 to 7 ft.), dense and spreading in growth; the tree being a regular and productive bearer of large size, firm, freestone fruit ripening in the early season. The fruit further being characterized by its juicy, melting texture with excellent eating quality.
The accompanying photographs show reproductions in color of the foliage and fruit of my new variety, with the upper and lower surface of the leaves being illustrated, also an exterior and a sectional view of the fruit being shown with the stone remaining in place. These illustrations were taken shortly after being picked at maturity, (eating ripe). The colors are as nearly true as is reasonably possible in a color representation of this type.
