Definitions

  • the present discovery relates to a new and distinct variety of peach tree, which originated from germinating seed resulting from open-pollination of fiowers of th Rio Oso Gem peach (Plant Patent No. 84)
  • This new peach presents a combination of characters highly resembling those of Rio Oso Gem with, however, a winter chilling requirement very much less than this latter variety but very similar to those of the well known variety Socala. This makes this new variety very much better suited t planting in Southern California areas of mild winter climate than is Rio Oso Gem, since there is present in this peach variety the ability to produce a crop each year when winter temperatures are insufficient to satisfy the chilling requirements of Rio Oso Gem.
  • the new variety does resemble Rio Oso Gem very much in tree characters, in that it is open- Vase formed, upright spreading and medium to small in size.
  • leaves of this new variety are considerably thicker and heavier than those of Rio Oso Gem, being crisp, whereas comparable leaves of Rio Oso Gem are limp and flexible.
  • Fruits are somewhat more uniform and smoothly shaped; the stones are distinctly less furrowed and ridged, the ridges being typically more rounded than the ridges of the stones of Rio Oso Gem and the amount of pitting is much less than in the latter.
  • the illustration represents respectively a specimen of a section of a branch, with typical leaf and bud features, a further specimen of foliage with end of crisp leaf broken therefrom, a specimen of stone, and the fruit in elevation for color and form characteristics and in section to show pit cavity characteristics.
  • Diameter axial2% inches to 7 Stone Adheres to flesh slightly along ventral edge.
  • Size Medium. Length1 inches to 1% inches; breadth-% inch to 1% inches; thickness--% inch to inch.
  • a new and distinct variety of peach tree characterized as to novelty by the reduction in winter chilling requirement in comparison with Rio Oso Gem variety under comparable conditions, with resultant ability to produce a crop each year under unfavorable conditions of Warm winter temperature; early leafing and flowering season; earlier ripening period compared to its parent variety; distinct form and crispness of leaves; color of the fruit and uniformity and smoothness of fruit and stone, substantially as shown and described.
