Description

ORIGIN OF THE VARIETY
The new present new variety of peach tree was originated by us in our experimental orchard located near Modesto, Calif. as a cross between Carolyn Peach (non-patented) and Loadel Peach (non-patented). A large group of these first generation seedlings were planted and grown under careful observation by use, during which time we recognized its distinct and desirable tree and fruit characteristics described above and selected the variety for reproduction and commercialization.
ASEXUAL REPRODUCTION OF THE VARIETY
Asexual reproduction of the new and distinct variety of peach tree was performed by budding in our experimental orchard located near Modesto, Calif. and shows that all characteristics run true to the original tree and are established and transmitted through succeeding propagations.
SUMMARY OF THE VARIETY
The new and distinct variety of peach tree is of large size, vigorous, semi-upright in growth and a regular and productive bearer of large, non-melting, yellow flesh clingstone fruit. The fruit is further characterized by having very firm flesh, ripening relatively uniform throughout the tree, having good handling and shipping quality, and maintaining an excellent shape, texture and appearance after being canned. In comparison to its pollen parent Loadel Peach (non-patented), the tree is more vigorous, has heavier production, larger size fruit, firmer non-melting flesh and is 7 to 8 days later in maturity.
PHOTOGRAPHS OF THE VARIETY
The accompanying photographic illustrations show typical specimens of the foliage and fruit of our new and distinct peach variety. The upper and lower surface of the leaves being illustrated with an exterior and sectional view of the fruit being displayed with the stone remaining in place. The illustrations were taken shortly after being picked at maturity (firm ripe) and the colors are as nearly true as reasonably possible in a color representation of this type.
DESCRIPTION OF THE VARIETY
The following is a detailed botanical description of the new and distinct variety of peach tree, its flowers, foliage and fruit, as based on observations of specimens 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.

Claims (1)

We claim:
1. A new and distinct variety of peach tree, substantially as illustrated and described, characterized by its large size, vigorous, semi-upright growth and a regular and productive bearer of large, non-melting, very firm, yellow flesh clingstone fruit which after being canned maintains an excellent shape, texture and appearance with good flavor and eating quality; the tree is further characterized in comparison to the Loadel peach (non-patented) by being more vigorous, larger in size and producing larger, firmer fruit which are approximately 7 to 8 days later in maturity.
