Abstract
A new and distinct variety of peach tree which is somewhat remotely similar to the "O'Henry" peach tree (U.S. Plant Pat. No. 2,964), but from which it is distinguished in a number of respects including by producing fruit which are mature for harvesting and shipment approximately one week after the fruit produced by the "O'Henry" peach tree and wherein the fruit is of a very high quality having a mild, pleasant flavor, a relatively low acidity, a red blush skin coloration and a firm flesh.

A new and distinct variety of peach tree substantially as illustrated and described which is somewhat remotely similar to the "O'Henry" peach tree (U.S. Plant Pat. No. 2,964), but from which it is distinguished in a number of 4 respects including by producing fruit which are mature for commercial harvesting and shipment approximately August 13 to August 24, or about one week after the "O'Henry" peach tree, in the San Joaquin Valley of central California and which has a high skin coloration.
