Abstract
The present variety of peach tree is a comparatively early ripening mutation of the O'Henry, and is characterized by a tree of medium to large size, medium vigor, and the regular and very productive bearing of highly colored, well-sized, fully freestone, fine textured fruit of very good flavor and superior eating quality; the fruit ripening substantially two weeks earlier than the O'Henry.
Description
In connection with my activities in the operation of a family ranch, including an orchard, located near Reedley, Fresno County, Calif., I frequent such ranch and orchard during routine agricultural operations, including cultivation, irrigation, and harvesting of crops. Against this background of my activities, the present variety of peach tree was discovered by me.
The present variety of peach tree is embraced by Class 43, Plants, of the U.S. Patent Office Manual of Classification.
Among existing varieties of peach trees which are known to me is the O'Henry (U.S. Plant Pat. No. 2,964), and which variety is mentioned herein for the purpose of comparison.
The present variety of peach tree was discovered by me growing as a small limb (hanger) on a scaffold of a peach tree of the O'Henry variety growing in the orchard located as aforesaid; it having been observed by me that such small limb bore fruit which was full ripe well ahead of the date of ripening of the fruit of the remainder of such tree. After its discovery, I maintained the mutation under close and continuing observation in order to confirm such earlier ripening of the fruit. Upon such confirmation, I determined to asexually reproduce the discovered mutation in contemplation of its potential commercialization.
The present variety of peach tree was asexually reproduced, under my direction and on my behalf, by a commercial nursery, by budding on seedling "Nemaguard" peach rootstock; the reproductions then having been planted and grown in an orchard on the aforesaid ranch. In maturity the reproductions ran true to the original mutation in all respects.
The present variety of peach tree -- with the exception of fruit maturity differences -- is phenotypically very similar to the O'Henry, and is characterized by a tree of medium to large size, medium vigor, and the regular and very productive bearing of highly colored, well-sized, fully freestone, fine textured, fruit of very good flavor and superior eating quality.
The present variety of peach tree is further -- and distinctively -- characterized, in comparison to the O'Henry, by fruit which ripens and is in harvest substantially two weeks earlier than the O'Henry.
The drawing is an illustration, by photographic reproduction in color, of a twig with leaves, a separate leaf, and separate fruit; one of the latter being cut into halves with the stone remaining in one half.
The botanical details of the present variety of peach tree -- with color definitions (except those in common color terms) referenced to the 1950 edition of Maerz and Paul Dictionary of Color -- are as follows:
