Abstract
A new and distinct variety of peach tree which produces fruit ripe for commercial harvest approximately Aug. 1 to Aug. 10 in the central San Joaquin Valley of California and somewhat remotely similar to the fruit of the "O'Henry" peach tree (U.S. Plant Pat. No. 2,964), but distinguished therefrom in numerous respects including that the fruit is generally more globose in shape and of lower acidity providing a mild, pleasant flavor.

A new and distinct variety of peach tree substantially as illustrated and described which produces fruit mature for commercial harvesting and shipment approximately Aug. 1 to Aug. 10 in the San Joaquin Valley of central California and somewhat remotely similar in the shape and coloration to the fruit of the "O'Henry" peach tree (U.S. Plant Pat.
