Abstract
Our new and distinct variety of apricot tree has the following unique combination of features that are outstanding in a new variety:
1. Heavy and regular production.
2. Fruit with good flavor and eating quality.
3. Fruit with firm flesh, good handling and shipping quality.
4. Vigorous, semi-spreading growth.
5. Early maturity of large size fruit.
Description
The present new variety of apricot tree was originated by us in our experimental orchard located near Modesto, Calif. as a first generation seedling from a cross between a selected seedling and King Cot (non-patented). The seedling selection which was the female parent originated from open pollinated Flaming Gold seed grown by us. We grew and maintained a large group of these first generation seedlings under careful observation and one seedling having especially desirable fruit characteristics, which is the present variety, was selected for asexually reproduction and commercialization.
The new and distinct variety of apricot tree was asexually reproduced by budding, as performed by us in our experimental orchard located near Modesto, Calif. and shows that all characteristics are established and transmitted through succeeding propagations and run true to the original tree in all respects.
The herein new variety of apricot tree is of large size, vigorous, semi-spreading growth and a productive and regular bearer of large, firm, yellow flesh, freestone fruit with good flavor and eating quality. The fruit is further characterized by being relative uniform in size throughout the tree, having the ability to ship to long distance markets and in comparison to Flaming Gold Apricot (U.S. Plant Pat. No. 2,822) the tree has heavier fruit production, and the fruit matures approximately 9 days earlier.
The accompanying photographic reproductions in color show typical specimens of the foliage and fruit of the present new variety of apricot tree. The illustrations show the upper and lower surface of the leaves, the exterior and a sectional view of the fruit divided in the suture plane to show flesh coloration, pit cavity and a stone remaining in place. The photographic illustrations were taken shortly after being 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 and distinct variety of apricot tree, its flowers, foliage and fruit 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.
