Abstract
A new and distinct variety of peach tree with the following unique combination of desirable features that are outstanding in a new variety:
1. Heavy and regular production of large size fruit.
2. Fruit with a high degree of attractive red skin color.
3. Fruit with good flavor and eating quality.
4. Good handling and shipping quality of the fruit.
5. Vigorous semi-upright growth of tree.
6. Early maturity of the fruit.
Description
The present new variety of peach tree was originated by us in our experimental orchard located near Modesto, Calif., as an open pollinated seedling from seed of 65EC70. The selected peach seedling with the field identification number 65EC70 originated from a cross between two selected seedlings with the field identification numbers 34GA1155 and 36EB346. The female parent 34GA1155 originated from a cross between a selected seedling of May Grand Nectarine (U.S. Plant Pat. No. 2,794) crossed with a peach of unknown parentage. This selection was then crossed with an open pollinated seedling of Sam Houston Peach (non-patented). The pollen parent 36EB346 originated from a first generation cross between Tasty Gold Nectarine (U.S. Plant Pat. No. 5,623) crossed with May Crest Peach (U.S. Plant Pat. No. 4,064). We grew and maintained a large group of these open pollinated seedlings under careful observation and the present variety which evidenced distinctive desirable fruit characteristics was selected for asexual reproduction and commercialization.
The present new variety of peach tree was asexually reproduced by budding, as performed by us in our experimental orchard located near Modesto, Calif., and shows that all reproductions of said characteristics run true to form and are established and transmitted through succeeding propagations.
The new and distinct variety of peach tree is of large size, vigorous, semi-upright growth and is a regular and productive bearer of large, yellow flesh, clingstone fruit with good flavor and eating quality. The fruit of the new variety is further characterized by having firm flesh with the ability to be shipped to long distance markets and in comparison to the commercial peach Spring Lady (U.S. Plant Pat. No. 4,661), which matures in the same maturity season, the new variety has fruit with more attractive red skin color and heavier production of larger size fruit.
The accompanying photograph shows a reproduction of typical specimens of the foliage and fruit of our new variety of peach tree. The upper and lower surface of the leaves are shown as well as an exterior and sectional view of the fruit divided in the suture plane to reveal flesh coloration, pit cavity and a stone remaining in place. The photograph was taken shortly after picking the fruit at maturity (firm ripe) and the colors are as nearly true as is reasonably possible in a color representation of this type.
The botanical description of the present new variety of peach tree, its flowers, foliage and fruit is 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. Kornerup and J. H. Wansher.

Claims (1)
1. A new and distinct variety of peach tree, substantially as illustrated and described, characterized by its large size, vigorous, semi-upright growth and by being a productive and regular bearer of large, firm, yellow flesh, clingstone fruit with an attractive red skin color; the fruit is further characterized by having good eating, keeping and shipping qualities and in comparision to the commercial peach variety Spring Lady (U.S. Plant Pat.
