Abstract
A new and distinct variety of apricot tree which is of large size, vigorous, medium dense, and upright; foliated with medium size, ovate to orbicular, pointed leaves having a coarsely serrate margin; blooms from medium size, plump buds; the flowers being of medium size and white tinged with pink; and is a regular and productive bearer of large size, firm flesh, early and uniformly ripening, well distributed, freestone, globose fruit somewhat compressed laterally toward the suture.
Description
1. Field of the Invention
In the field of plant genetics we conduct an extensive and continuing plant breeding program including the origination and asexual reproduction of orchard trees, and of which peaches, apricots, and plums are exemplary. It was against this background of our activities that the present variety of apricot tree was originated and asexually reproduced by us in an experimental orchard located at Modesto, Stanislaus County, Calif.
2. Classification of the Variety
The present new and distinct variety of apricot tree is embraced by Class 39, Plants, of the U.S. Patent Office Manual of Classification.
3. Prior Varieties
Among the existent varieties of apricot trees which are known to us, and mentioned herein, are Flaming Gold (U.S. Plant Pat. No. 2,822) and King Cot (unpatented).
The present variety of apricot tree was originated by us, in the aforesaid experimental orchard, as a cross between a selected seedling of Flaming Gold and King Cot. A first generation seedling of such cross was grown under careful and continuing observation, and--upon such seedling (of said cross) evidencing, in maturity, especially novel and distinct characteristics--it was asexually reproduced in contemplation of potential commercialization.
The present variety of apricot tree was asexually reproduced, in the aforesaid experimental orchard, by budding, and such reproductions ran true to the original tree and its fruit in all respects.
The present variety of apricot tree is, characteristically, large size, vigorous, medium dense and upright; foliated with medium size, ovate to orbicular, pointed leave having a coarsely serrate margin; blooms from medium size, plump buds; the flowers being of medium size and white tinged with pink; and is a regular and productive bearer of large size, firm flesh, early and uniformly ripening, well distributed, freestone, globose fruit somewhat compressed laterally toward the suture.
The present variety of apricot tree is further and more particularly characterized as follows:
In comparison to the Flaming Gold, the fruit of the present variety is larger, and is more uniform in ripening and distribution throughout the tree.
In comparison to the King Cot, the tree of the present variety is a more consistent bearer and has greater production.
Additionally, the fruit of the present variety continues, after picking at shipping ripe, to mature and increase in soluble solids (sugar); will hold in marketable condition for three weeks in cold storage; is of good fresh-fruit eating quality; ships well to long distance markets; and, when processed as dried fruit, maintains excellent color and flavor.
The drawing comprise illustrations, by photographic reproduction in color, of typical specimens of the foliage and firm-ripe fruit of the present variety of apricot tree; such illustrations being of a twig with leaves, and separate fruit; one of the latter being cut in half to expose the flesh, with the stone remaining in one of the halves.

The apricot tree and its fruit herein described may vary in slight detail due to climatic and soil conditions under which the variety may be grown; the present description being of the variety as grown in the Central Valley of California.
