Abstract
A new variety of peach tree, named "June Freestone," which is very large in size, very vigorous, spreading, moderately open, vase-formed, and hardy; foliated with medium size, acuminate, lanceolate, acutely pointed, thin, dark green leaves, having a crenate, finely serrate margin and a short, thick petiole, and a very productive bearer of uniform, evenly ripening, large to medium size, nearly globose or very broadly ovate, freestone fruit having yellow skin substantially overspread with red, and firm, fine, crisp, meaty yellow flesh streaked with red.
Description
The present variety of peach tree was originated in a Washington Farms orchard as an open pollinated seedling of an unnamed, unpatented variety of peach tree. The orchard is located in Georgia in the peach growing region known as the Ridge.
When such open pollinated seedling matured as a bearing tree, and it was determined to be of commercial value, the variety was asexually reproduced by grafting on rootstock grown in the aforesaid orchard. The asexual reproduction of the variety ran true to the original tree.
The herein-claimed new and distinct variety of peach tree is very large in size, very vigorous, spreading, moderately open, vase formed, and hardy; it is foliated with medium size acuminate, lanceolate, acutely pointed, thin, dark green leaves having a crenate, finely serrate margin and a short, thick petiole; and it is a regular and very productive bearer of uniform, evenly ripening, large to medium size, nearly globose or very broadly ovate, freestone fuit having yellow skin substantially overspread with red, and having firm, fine, crisp, meaty, yellow flesh streaked with red.
The herein-claimed variety of peach tree is further and more distinctly characterized by fruit that is larger in size and earlier in the season, than Harvester or Red Globe peaches grown in the same region, also by its greater production of fruit per tree than the varieties just mentioned. The "June Freestone" fruits in the Ridge in late May, while Harvester and Red Globe trees fruit in late June or early July.
The drawings are illustrations, by photographic reproduction in color, (A & B) of fruit of the variety; (C) of certain of the fruit cut open to expose the flesh and the stone; and (D) of a two-year old fruit-bearing tree of the variety.

Claims (1)
1. A new and distinct variety of peach tree, called, "June Freestone," substantially as illustrated and described, which is very large in size, very vigorous, spreading, moderately open, vase formed, and hardy; foliated with medium size acuminate, lanceolate, acutely pointed, thin, dark green leaves having a crenate, finely serrate margin and a short, thick petiole, and a very productive bearer of uniform evenly ripening, large to medium size, nearly globose or very broadly ovate, freestone fruit having yellow skin substantially overspread with red and firm, fine, crisp, meaty, yellow flesh streaked with red; the variety being more particularly characterized, in comparison to Harvester or Red Globe varieties, by fruit that typically ripens in early June in the Ridge region of Georgia (while Harvester or Red Globe varieties ripen in late June or early July in that region), averages slightly larger in size, has fewer split pits, is rounder, more symmetrical, and more firm of flesh, and has good shipping quality.
