Definitions

  • This invention relates to a new variety of peach tree originating as a bud sport from the Early E1- berta peach tree. This new variety has been thoroughly tested in the south central part of Ohio. The fruit matures exactly at the same time as the Early Elberta. Near Dayton, Ohio, where the new fruit has been tested, it has been found to ripen about five days later than the Champion and about five days ahead of the Georgia Belle.
  • the fruit size and shape are identical with the strain of Early Elberta, from which it was developed as a bud sport.
  • the skin of the fruit is of a cream color, with a mottled flaming red blush.
  • the blush varies from a light pink to a dark red.
  • At maturity the fruit is covered from one-fourth to three-fourths with red.
  • the cream background of the flesh is somewhat darker than the Georgia Belle.
  • the flesh is firm, excellent in quality and the stone is always free. The variety is reproduced asexually and the characteristics of the fruit hold true through succeeding propagations.
  • Figure 1 discloses two peaches viewed from opposite ends.
  • Figure 2 is a cross sectional view showing the stone removed.
  • Figure 3 is a side elevational View of the stone.v

  • Leaves The leaves are six inches long and threefourths inch wide, oval to obovate lanceolate;
  • the flower buds are large, pubescent,
  • the fruit size and shape are identical with the strain of Early Elberta, from which it developed as a bud sport. Fruit is two and one-half inches wide and two and three-fourths inches long. A great many fruits have a diameter of three inches.
  • the fruit is roundish oblong, with a slight bulge on one side.
  • the cavity is deep, abrupt to flaring, always mottled with red; suture is shallow, slightly deepening toward the apex; apex roundish, with a pointed tip; color cream, with a mottled flaming red blush; blush varies from a light pink to a dark red.
  • At maturity fruits are from one-fourth to three-fourths covered with red.
  • the cream background is somewhat darker than the Georgia Belle, finely pubescent.
