Peach tree (7-7-52)

Abstract

A peach tree which is medium size, vigorous, hardy, upright-spreading, foliated with medium size, ovate-lanceolate to lanceolate leaves having a finely crenate margin, medium length petiole, and reniform glands; blooms from hardy, medium size, pointed flower buds free from the stem and moderately pubescent, the flowers being medium size, non-showy, and deep rose pink shading lighter at base; and is a regular and highly productive bearer of large, uniform, globose, clingstone fruit having orange buff skin with a red blush, and firm, highly flavored, orange buff flesh.

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, clingstone fruit having firm, highly flavored flesh; the fruit, which ripens approximately with the Carolyn and is similar in shape, is particularly distinctive, in comparison, by not dropping fruit before harvest, by less blush on the skin, by a stone which is eroded near the apex of the dorsal side, and by leaf glands which are reniform and not globose as are those of the Carolyn.
