Abstract
A new and distinct variety of peach tree which is somewhat remotely similar to the "Champagne" peach tree (U.S. Pat. No. P.P. 4,865) of which it is a sport, but from which it is distinguished by producing fruit which are mature for harvesting and shipment approximately eight (8) days to two weeks after the fruit produced by the "Champagne" peach tree and wherein the fruit has more flavor and a white flesh coloration.
Show the legal claimThe single numbered claim as granted — the legal text that defines what this patent covers.
Having thus described and illustrated my new variety of peach tree, what I claim as new and desire to be secured by Plant Letters Patent is: 1. A new and distinct variety of peach tree substantially as illustrated and described which is somewhat remotely similar to the "Champagne" peach tree (U.S. Pat. No. P.P. 4,865) of which it is a sport, but from which it is distinguished by producing white flesh fruit which are late ripening for commercial harvesting and shipment approximately August 20 to August 31, or about eight (8) days to two (2) weeks after the "Champagne" peach tree, in the San Joaquin Valley of central California and which have a sweeter flavor and a greater flesh coloration when compared therewith.
