Definitions
- This invention relates to a new and distinctive variety of freestone peach of the late maturing or ripening class.
- the parentage of the tree is not exactly known but its reproduction by applicant was from what was apparently a wild sport, which wild sport, since said reproduction, has died from natural causes.
- Characteristics of the tree are that its rate or" growth and vigor are about the average of freestone peaches and the vertical shoots which are formed are not extremely long and slender.
- the lateral twigs form rather wide angles with the vertical branches and there is very little tendency for delayed foliage.
- This tree is one of the last varieties to lose its leaves and has been noted to hold the green leaves past the mid dle of December.
- the leaves do not show a great deal of red or yellow color before falling.
- the blossoms are not of the showy type.
- the fruit is very tightly attached to the tree, except for the fact that it is a freestone peach, i. e., where the pit is easily removed from the halves when the fruit is halved, the flesh of the fruit in its color and depth of color and the firmness of the texture of the flesh more nearly resembles a peach of the clingstone type.
- Figure 2 illustrates a halved peach with the pit embedded in one of the halves.
- Figure 1 the closest approximation to the red of the peach compares with Plate 44, L-l.
- the greenish yellow of the outside of the peach compares with Plate 11, L-2, while the orange yellow compares with Plate 10, L-4.
- the inside of the peach shown on the color print, Figure 2 shows the lighter yellow part comparing with Plate 10, L-5, while the deep yellow part of the peach compares with Plate 10, L-7.
- the red of the inside of the peach is approximately like Plate 44, L-2.
- the freestone peach variety herein described characterized by its late date of ripening normally falling between November 20 to December 15; unequal halves in the plane of suture of the pit, its yellow-green coloring usually having a slight redness at the blossom end shading over a portion of one of the halves when ripe, the fine grain and deep yellow of its flesh when ripe.
