1. Fruit with good flavor and eating quality.
2. Early maturity of its fruit.
3. Fruit with good handling and shipping quality.
4. Having a low winter chilling requirement of approximately 350 hours.

7. Vigorous upright growth.
Description
The present new and distinct variety of peach tree was originated by us in our experimental orchard located near Modesto, Calif. as a first generation cross between a selected seedling with the field identification number of 12ED34 and Sweet Gem Peach (U.S. Plant Pat. No. 7,952). The maternal parent with the field identification number 12ED34 originated from a cross between the selected seedling 27GA575 and May Crest Peach (U.S. Plant Pat. No. 4,064). The selected seedling 27GA575 originated from a seedling selection of open pollinated Red Grand Nectarine (U.S. Plant Pat. No. 1,060) crossed with Desert Gold Peach (non-patented). We grew and maintained these first generation seedlings under close observation, during which time one such early maturing seedling, which is the present variety, having especially 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 all characteristics of the tree and its fruit are established and transmitted through succeeding asexual reproductions and come true to the original tree in all respects.
The new and distinct variety of peach tree is of large size, vigorous, upright in growth and is a productive and regular bearer of medium size, early maturing, yellow flesh, clingstone fruit with good flavor and eating quality. The fruit is further characterized by having firm flesh with good handling and shipping quality, having an attractive red blush and in comparison to May Crest Peach (U.S. Plant Pat. No. 4,064), has a lower winter chilling requirement and is approximately 14 days earlier in maturity.
The accompanying color photographic reproduction show typical specimens of the foliage and fruit of the present new peach tree. The upper and lower surface of the leaves being illustrated with specimens of the fruit showing the exterior skin color. The photograph was taken shortly after the fruit had been picked (shipping ripe) and the colors are as nearly true as is reasonably possible in a color representation of this type.
The following botanical details of the present new and distinct variety of peach tree, its flowers, foliage and fruit are 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.
