1 Claim.
The present invention relates to a new and distinct variety of peach tree originating as a seedling of the well known Hal-Berta-Giant variety (P1..Pat. #7).
This new variety is characterized as to novelty by the large size of the fruit, the red coloring of the skin and white flesh thereof, and the good eating quality and firmness of the fruit.

It is, to the best of my knowledge, the earliest ripening whitefleshed, large, free stone peach, maturing ten days before Red Bird Cling grown under comparable conditions.
Asexual reproduction of this new variety shows the foregoing characteristics come true to form and are established.
The accompanying drawing illustrates in reduced size, specimens of this new variety from opposite ends and also in section with the stone in place.
The followin is a detailed description of the new variety, color terminology being in accordance with the Horticultural Color Guide and Ridgways Color Standard:
