Definitions

  • OrtginThis improved peach originated as a chance seedling discoveredin' an apple orchard in the Crozet district,a commercial peach growing section in the State of Virginia, where the Elberta variety of peach is grown almost exclusively.
  • the seedling first attracted attention because of its rapid growth and deep green foliage, and then later by the hardiness of -the bud and blossom and the hereafter mentioned characteristics of the fruit which indicated that it was a new variety.
  • the tree of this discovery is of more rapid and vigorous growth; the branches are characterized by great flexibility and tensile strength; thetree, under cropping conditions appearing to weep as the heavily laden branches bend gracefully, with a minimum of breakage. Also as compared to the Elberta variety, the discovered tree has been estimated to carry and mature a load of fruit in an amount twenty per cent greater than would be practical on an Elberta tree of similar size, since less pruning is required.
  • the improved peach has little, if any, resemblance to the Elberta, being a perfect free stone, large (from 2% x 3 inches to 3 x 3 /2 inches), elongated, ovate-oval with a very prominent tip, uniform in size, with the flesh being of fine grain and of rich yellow color with some red splashing towards the stone.
  • the bud and blossom are more resistant to frost and freezes than the Elberta, although resembling the latter in color,
  • Figure 1 shows an average specimen of the tree of this new variety.
  • Figure 2 shows specimens of the fruit of this new variety, ripe and ready to eat or ship
  • Tree Large to medium. Vigorous and rapid growth. Spreading and under cropping conditions appears to weep. Dense; hardy. Very productive, bearing at an early age and carrying and maturing a load of fruit that commercial growers have estimated to be 20% reater than would be practical on an Elberta tree of similar size, since less pruning is required.
  • Trunlc.-Slender to medium The wood is tough and not brash and has great flexibility.
  • the bark resembles the Elberta.
  • foliage as compared to the Elberta is darker and larger.
  • the leaves are rich dark green and average one inch longer and one-eighth inch wider than the Elberta.
  • the leaves are wavy to slightly crinkled with the edge coarsely serrated to almost smooth; obovate-lanceolate; base angle wide; glands reniform, 2-4 in number, inconspicuous, reddish brown.
  • the bud and blossom are more resistant to frost and freezes than the Elberta, the blossoms resembling the Elberta in color and conformation but are somewhat deeper in shade.
  • Fruit Large (from 2% x 3 inches to 3 x 3 inches), elongated, ovate-oval with a very prominent tip. Color yellow with blush and mottling of red color; quite attractive. Suture striped with russet raised and slightly prominent. Cavity, narrow, deep, acute. Stem end narrow with slight ridging. Stem end and suture firm (the entire fruit ripening evenly). Fruit throughout the tree is quite uniformly large, even though pruning and fruit thinning were light. The fruit ripens in the Elberta 3.. season but will remain on the tree at a maturer stage for a longer period than will the Elberta. Size-Uniform. Larger than the Elberta and varies very little, irrespective of heavy cropping. Form. Globular, somewhat elongated,
