Description

ORIGIN OF THE VARIETY
The present new variety of peach tree was developed by us in our experimental orchard located near Modesto, Calif., as a first generation cross between two selected seedlings with the field identification Nos. 108ED290 and 161GD199. The female parent with the field identification No. 108ED290 originated from a cross of a seedling selection indentified as 24GA764 ((Red Grand Nectarine (U.S. Plant Pat. No. 1,060)×Redwing Peach (U.S. Plant Pat. No. 621)) crossed with Sugar Lady Peach (U.S. Plant Pat. No. 7,532). The pollen parent 161GD199 originated from a cross of Ruby Gold Nectarine (U.S. Plant Pat. No. 3,101)×Redwing Peach (U.S. Plant No. 621). We grew and maintained a large group of these first generation seedlings under close observation and one such seedling, which is the present variety, having especially desirable fruit characteristics was selected for asexually propagation and commercialization.
ASEXUAL REPRODUCTION OF THE VARIETY
The new and distinct variety of peach tree was asexually propagated by budding, as performed by us in our experimental orchard, located near Modesto, Calif., which shows that all characteristcs run true to the original tree and are established and transmitted in succeeding propagations.
SUMMARY OF THE VARIETY
The new and distinct variety of peach tree is of large size, vigorous upright growth and is a regular and productive bearer of large, freestone, white flesh fruit with excellent flavor and eating quality. The fruit is further characterized by having firm flesh, having good handling and shipping quality, holding on the tree 6 to 8 days after maturity (shipping ripe), having an attractive red skin color and in comparison to Giant Babcock Peach (U.S. Plant Pat. No. 1,353) the fruit of the new variety has firmer flesh, greater handling and shipping quality and is approximately 3 weeks later in maturity.
DESCRIPTION OF THE PHOTOGRAPHS:
The accompanying color photographic illustration shows typical specimens of the foliage and fruit of the present new variety of peach tree. The upper and lower surface of the leaves are illustrated with an exterior and sectional view of the fruit divided in the suture plane to show flesh coloration, pit cavity and a stone remaining in place. The photographic illustration was taken shortly after being picked at maturity (shipping rip) and the colors are as nearly true as reasonably possible in a color representation of this type.
DESCRIPTION OF THE VARIETY
