Definitions

  • the present discovery relates to a new and 'distinct variety of peach tree having freestonefruit; such fruit closely resembling the J. H. Hale in fruit type, but'being distinguishable therefrom in several important characteristics.
  • the fruit'of the present variety ripens between the J. H. Hale and the Rio Oso Gem; the ripening period being in the latter part of August in California.
  • the fruit when ripe is low, normally, in tannin content and therefore is subject to a minimum of oxidization and resultant discolorization when the flesh is out and exposed to the air.
  • it is especially useful for processing by freezing, as there is no substantial or objectionable discolorization.
  • Fig. 1 is a perspective view of one of the peaches of the new variety, as attached to a twig with leaves.
  • Fig. 2 is a sectional view, taken axially of such peach, with the stone exposed.
  • Tree Large, vigorous, upright to spreading; vase formed. Very productive-productive. Regular bearer.
  • Trunk Medium size; smooth.
  • Sepals-Deep reddish on the outside, except on margins of the tips; which are lighter, covered with a heavy short pubescence. Tips green on inside; less pubescence.
  • suture 3 Flesh Yellow to Deep Yellow (Plate 9-L-6, shading into plate 9-K-8); streaked, mottled with Red next to stone (Plate 6-K-6). Surface of pit cavity red with white-ye1low fibers.
  • Amygadalin.--Scant wanting. Juice-Moderate. Texture.Firm, medium. Fine; melting. Fibres.Few; fine; tender. Ripens.Evenly. FZa'uor.Subacid. Aroma.--Distinct. Eating quaZity.Good-best. Stone: Free. Parts from flesh smoothly.
  • the primary distinguishing characteristics of the herein claimed new and distinct variety of peach tree, as compared to the J. H. Hale, which it most resembles, are the ripening period, which is between the J. H. Hale and the Rio Oso Gem, being in the latter part of August in California; and the normally low tannin content of the fruit when ripe.
  • This normally low tannin content minimizes oxidization and discolorization of the flesh when it is cut and exposed to the air, and consequently the peachis admirably adapted to the frozen food industry, and can be processed, frozen, and ultimately thawed for use without objectionable discolorization.
  • a new and distinct variety of peach tree substantially as shown and described, characterized by comparison with the J. H. Hale freestone peach which it most closely resembles, by a ripening period between said J. H. Hale and the Rio Oso Gem, and by a normally low tannin content by reason of which the flesh when out and exposed to the air is subject to a minimum of oxidization and discolorization; the fruit being large, uniform, and globose; the skin being a deep yellow ground color blushed red, and the flesh being a yellow to deep yellow color streaked and mottled with red next tothe stone.
