Definitions

  • This invention relates to a new and distinct variety of peach tree, the result of carefully planned breeding, having as its objective the production .of an early ripening peach suitable primarily for mild winter climates, such as prevail in the southern California section.
  • This new variety of peach represents a successful conclusion of the objective, and is primarily characterized as to novelty not only by the early ripening of the fruit, but also by the substantially unir'orm yellow flesh color thereof.
  • the ripening date of this new peach is approximately twenty-eight days earlier than the well known peach variety Early Imperial grown un der comparable conditions, it being understood that the observations regarding the same followed a winter during which three hundred hours of temperatures at 40 F., or below, were experienced between November and the succeeding January 15.
  • the ripening date, so far as I am aware, is unequalled by any other yellow peach variety grown under the conditions of southern California, for which it was especially bred as aforesaid.
  • the length of time between the fiowering and ripening of the fruit is the same as that of the Early Imperial peach, and the difference in ripening dates between the new variety and Early Imperial is due to the early flowering date of this new variety, which is approximately one month earlier than the Early Imperial.
  • the new variety of peach herein referred to is characterized by a high skin color and by the vigor of growth of the tree which is exceptionally strong; and the almost complete absence of variation in color in the light yellow flesh color of the fruit even about the stone.
  • this new peach is comparable to that of Early Imperial, and would, therefore, be classified as medium.
  • Form-Uniform unsymmetrical; broadly ovoid; compressed laterally toward suture on one side.
  • Ventral surface -Strongly lipped toward apex on left side. Lips-unequal. Cavity. Rounded. Depth Breadth-% inch. Markings-none.
  • juice Stone Free. Adheres to flesh along both dorsal and ventral edges over upper half of sides. Retains short fiber like threads along ridges.
  • a new and distinct variety of peach tree characterized .as to novelty by its early ripening period, .its vigorous growth and exceptional strength; the early flowering and leafing resulting in consistency in size, quality, and quantity of its fruit as compared with'other early varieties; the yellow flesh coloring of the fruit, and almost complete absence of variation in this light yellow flesh color, substantially as shown and described.
