Abstract
A new and distinct variety of peach, Prunus persica, tree; its novelty consists of the following unique combination of desirable features that are outstanding in a new variety:
1. Early maturity of large size fruit.
2. Fruit with good flavor and eating quality.
3. Heavy and regular production of fruit.
4. Fruit with a high degree of attractive red skin color.
5. Fruit with firm flesh, good handling and shipping quality.
6. The ability of the fruit to hold firm on the tree 4 to 5 days after maturity (shipping ripe).
7. Vigorous, upright growth habit.
Description
The 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 two selected seedlings with field identification numbers 36EB85 and 5GE8. The female parent (36EB85), originated from an open pollinated seedling selection selected from a cross between May Grand Nectarine (U.S. Plant Pat. No. 2,794) with a peach of unknown parentage. The pollen parent (5GE8), originated as a selected seedling from a cross between Fayette Peach (non-patented) withRoyal April Peach (U.S. Plant Pat. No. 3,411) which was then crossed with May Crest Peach (U.S. Plant Pat. No. 4,064). A large number of these first generation seedlings were grown and maintained under close observation by us, during which time we recognized the outstanding desirable characteristics described above and selected the present new variety for asexual reproduction and commercialization.
The present new variety of peach tree was asexually reproduced by budding, as perform by us in our experimental orchard located near Modesto, Calif., and shows that all characteristics run true to the original tree and are established and transmitted in succeeding asexual propagations.
The new and distinct variety of peach tree is of large size, vigorous, upright growth and a productive and regular bearer of large, white flesh, clingstone fruit with good flavor and eating quality. The fruit is further characterized by having firm flesh, good handling and shipping quality, holding firm on the tree 4 to 5 days after maturity (shipping ripe) and having a high degree of attractive red skin color. In comparison to the white flesh, Sugar May Peach (U.S. Plant Pat. No. 8,034), the fruit of the new variety is approximately 13 days earlier in maturity.
The accompanying color photographic illustration shows typical specimens of the fruit and foliage of the present new peach variety. The upper and lower surface of the leaves being shown, the exterior and a sectional view of a fruit divided in the suture plane to show flesh coloration, pit cavity and a stone remaining in place. The photograph was taken shortly after the fruit was picked at maturity (shipping ripe) and the colors are as nearly true as is reasonably possible in a color representation of this type.
The following is a botanical description of the present new peach tree, itsflowers, foliage and fruit as based on observations of specimens grown nearModesto, Calif., with color terminology (except those in common terms) referenced to Reinhold Color Atlas by A. Kornerup and J. H. Wanscher.
