Abstract
A peach tree generally similar to the Flavorcrest Peach Tree (unpatented) which bears large, smooth, nearly globular fruit having a more highly-colored skin than that of the Flavorcrest and ripening about three days earlier than the Flavorcrest.
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 secure by Letters Patent is: 1. A new and distinct variety of peach tree, substantially as illustrated and described, and which is characterized by its regular and productive bearing of large, yellow-fleshed and delicately-flavored fruit; and by its general resemblance to the Flavorcrest Peach Tree (unpatented), but from which it is distinguished by its fruit ripening about three days earlier and having a more highly red colored skin, and having a smoother exterior surface in that the ventral suture is seldom raised appreciably.
