Description
The present new variety of peach tree was originated by us in our experimental orchard located near Modesto, Calif., and was selected as a first generation cross between two selected seedlings with the identification numbers of 29G560 and 54G262. The maternal parent 29G560 originated from a cross between O'Henry Peach (U.S. Plant Pat. No. 2,964) and Giant Babcock Peach (U.S. Plant Pat. No. 1,353) and the paternal parent 54G262 originated from a cross between Redwing Peach (U.S. Plant Pat. No. 621) and a selection of an early ripening, highly red colored nectarine of unknown parentage. A large group of seedlings from this first generation cross were grown and maintained under close observation by us and the present variety which evidenced distinctive desirable fruit characteristics was selected for asexual reproduction and commercialization.
The present new variety of peach tree was asexually reproduced by budding, as performed by us in our experimental orchard located near Modesto, Calif., and shows that all said characteristics run true to form and are established and transmitted in succeeding propagations.
The new and distinct variety of peach tree is of large size, vigorous upright growth and a regular and productive bearer of large, firm, white flesh, clingstone fruit with good eating quality and the ability to ship to long distance markets. The fruit of the new variety is further characterized in comparison to Redwing Peach (U.S. Plant Pat. No. 621) by having firmer flesh, greater shipping quality, a higher degree of attractive red skin color and maturing approximately 14 days earlier.
The accompanying color photographic illustrations show typical specimens of the foliage and fruit of the new variety of peach tree with the upper and lower surface of the leaves being shown as well as the exterior and sectional view of the fruit showing flesh coloration with a stone remaining in place. The photographs were taken shortly after the fruit was picked at maturity (firm ripe) and the colors are as nearly true as is reasonably possible in a color representation of this type.
The following is a detailed botanical description of the new peach tree, its flowers, foliage and fruit, as based on observations of specimens grown near Modesto, Calif., with color terminology (except those in common terms) in accordance with Reinhold Color Atlas by A. Kornerup and J. H. Wanscher.
