No cultivar name of record
This patent does not name the plant. Through the 1980s and early 1990s that was still common: naming every new cultivar only became standard practice as plants began to be marketed under brand names. The grant identifies this one by its number and by a written description instead.
Nothing here is missing from our records: the patent itself states no name. Where one exists we show it, and we do not invent one.
Abstract
There is disclosed a new and distinct peach variety which originated as a natural limb mutation of the unpatented variety Loring, and is a peach tree which produces early midseason maturing, yellow-fleshed, semi-freestone peaches, which are large, round, firm and have an attractive bright red skin color, which color covers seventy to eighty percent of the surface of the fruit when fully mature, the flesh being golden yellow with a rich, delicious flavor.
Show the legal claimThe single numbered claim as granted — the legal text that defines what this patent covers.
I claim: 1. A new and distinct variety of yellow freestone peach tree, substantially as illustrated and described, characterized as to novelty by its strong vigorous growth habit, regular productivity and the ability to yield large, round, firm, globose, deep and fully red colored peaches with a rich and delicious flavor, ripening two weeks before Loring.
