Definitions

  • This invention relates to a new and distinct variety of peach tree which bears free stone fruit closely resembling the fruit of the J. H. Hale variety; the primary advantageous feature of the present variety being the early ripening period of its fruit, which period is approximately five weeks ahead of said J. H. Hale variety.
  • the date of first picking is June 15th to 25th, and the date of last picking is June 25th to 30th.
  • the: present variety of peach tree is distinguishable from the J. H. Hale variety by reason of having pollen and being seli-iertile.
  • the present variety has a tree which is strong, vigorous, and large, as compared to the tree of the J. H. Hale variety.
  • the present variety is a freestone peach especially useful as fresh eating or dessert peach, being adaptable to either local or distant markets; the shipping quality being good, including long distance.
  • the fruit is also good for culinary use.
  • Seeds were gathered by applicant from a J. H. Hale peach tree growing next to a block of many varieties of peaches, and such seeds were planted. From the resultant seedlings one was selected as being of special merit, being identified in applicants records as the C 1--8. It is believed that the J. H. Hale was crossed with the Arp in producing the C 1-8, as it and many of its progeny resemble the Arp. Open pollenated seeds of the C 1-8 variety were then planted, and of the resultant seedlings one was selected as a new and distinct variety, being that claimed herein, and which is identified in applicants records as the G 7-55.
  • Fig. 1 is a perspective view of the fruit of the variety as attached to a twig with leaves.
  • Fig. 2' is a sectional viewtaken axially of the fruit, with the stone exposed.
  • Tree Medium size; medium vigorous; uprightspreading. Medium dense; vase formed. Productive; regular bearer. Trunk: Medium slender; medium shaggy.
  • the fruit of the present variety more nearly resembles the J. H. Hale variety than any other, retaining its desirable large size, generally round shape, firm flesh, and high exterior color; being gold and yellow with a red over-color, striped and splashed over approximately three-fourths of its outside area.
  • the average five-weeks earlier ripening period is an extreme advantage in the trade and, as hereinbefore described, is the primary distinguishing feature between said varieties; each bearing fruit especially adapted for fresh eating or dessert use, and also for culinary purposes.
  • the tree and its fruit as herein described may vary in slight detail due to climatic and soil conditions under which the variety may be grown.
  • a new and distinct variety of peach tree characterized by fruit bearing close similarit to the fruit of the J. H. Hale variety but having aripening period which is approximately five weeks earlier; the variety having pollen, being selffertile, and the tree being strong, vigorous, and large.
