Abstract

A new and distinct variety of peach tree which is closely similar to the "Autumn Gem" peach tree (U.S. Plant Pat. No. 3,582), of which it is a mutation, but from which it is distinguished by producing fruit which are mature for harvesting and shipment approximately four weeks later than the fruit of the "Autumn Gem" peach tree.

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 and which is closely similar to the "Autumn Gem" peach tree (U.S. Plant Pat. No. 3,582), producing large freestone fruit of a yellow ground color and a streaked and mottled red blush coloration, but from which it is distinguished and characterized principally as to novelty by producing such fruit which are mature for commercial harvesting and shipment approximately November 1st to November 20th in the Southern San Joaquin Valley of central California.
