Show the legal claimThe single numbered claim as granted — the legal text that defines what this patent covers.
We claim: 1. A new and distinct variety of peach tree, substantially as illustrated and described, characterized by its large size, vigorous, upright growth, which is a productive and regular bearer of large, yellow flesh, semi clingstone fruit with good flavor and eating quality; the fruit is further characterized by having firm flesh with good storage and shipping quality, holding on the tree 6 to 7 days after maturity (shipping ripe), having an attractive red skin color and in comparison to its seed parent Rich Lady Peach (U.S. Plant Pat.
