Abstract
The present discovery is a distinct variety of peach tree which has the following unique combination of desirable features that are outstanding in a new variety:
1. Fruit with very firm white flesh having good storage and shipping qualities.
2. Heavy and regular production of fruit.
3. Fruit with large size.
4. Fruit with excellent flavor and eating quality.
5. Fruit with a high degree of attractive red skin color.
6. Coloring of fruit 7 to 10 days before ripening.
Description
The new and distinct variety of peach tree was originated by use in our experimental orchard located near Modesto, Calif., as a first generation cross between two selected seedlings with the field identification Nos. 23R236 and 44EB108. The material parent with the field identification No. 23R236 originated as a second generation seedling from a cross between two selected seedlings, one a peach of unknown parentage and the other 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). The parental parent 44EB108 originated as a second generation seedling from a cross between Redwing Peach (U.S. Plant Pat. No. 621) and a very firm, high colored, early maturing nectarine of unknown parentage. A large group of seedlings, which were planted and grown by use, gave many and varying characteristics. One such seedling, which is the present variety, evidenced distinctive desirable fruit characteristics and 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 characteristics of the tree and its fruit are established and transmitted through succeeding propagations and come true to the original tree in all respects.
The new and distinct variety of peach tree is of large size, vigorous upright growth; the tree being a regular and productive bearer of large size, white flesh, freestone fruit with excellent flavor and eating quality. The fruit is further characterized by having an attractive red skin color, being of firm flesh with good storage and shipping qualities and in comparison to the two white flesh parents in its genetic background, Giant Babcock Peach (U.S. Plant Pat. No. 1,353) and Redwing Peach (U.S. Plant Pat. No. 621), the new variety has a higher degree of attractive red skin color and also has firmer flesh with greater handling and shipping qualities.
The accompanying photographic illustrations show typical specimens of the foliage and fruit of our new peach variety, with an exterior and sectional view of the fruit to show pit cavity, flesh coloration and a stone remaining in place. A small section of a branch and foliage, with the upper and lower surface of the leaves, is illustrated. The photographs were taken shortly after being picked (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 flowers, foliage and fruit of our new peach variety, as based on observations of the variety grown in our experimental orchard located near Modesto, Calif., with color terminology (except those in common terms) in accordance with Reinhold Color Atlas by A. Kornerup and J. H. Wanscher.
