Abstract
A peach tree which is medium size, medium vigorous, upright-spreading, hardy, foliated with medium size, lanceolate leaves having a crenate margin, medium length petiole, and globose glands, blooms prolificly from hardy, medium-small, conic-pointed flower buds free from the stem and moderately pubescent, the flowers being large, showy, and pink; and is a regular and very productive bearer of large, uniform, globose, symmetrical, clingstone fruit having tough, thick, tenacious-to-flesh, yellow skin having a red blush, and fine, moderately firm, non-melting, light orange-yellow flesh.
Show the legal claimThe single numbered claim as granted — the legal text that defines what this patent covers.
It is claimed: 1. A new and distinct variety of peach tree, substantially as illustrated and described, which regularly and with high productivity bears large, uniform, globose, symmetrical, clingstone fruit having fine, moderately firm, non-melting flesh; the fruit, which ripens about three days ahead of the Carolyn, is slightly similar to the Gaume but is distinctive--in comparison--by absence of blossom end breakdown, by a larger stone less likely to split, and by a higher flavor both fresh and canned.
