Peach tree

Abstract

A peach tree particularly characterized by its fruit, when fully ripe, having very firm, non-melting flesh which, in most fruit, is completely free of color, the free being further characterized by having large showy blossoms and by bearing clingstone fruit which has superior shipping and keeping qualities, which ripens approximately 20 days earlier than fruit of the Nectar Peach Tree (U.S. Plant Pat. No. 86), and which has an attractive skin coloration.

Having thus described and illustrated my new variety of peach tree, I claim: 
     
       1. A new and distinct variety of peach tree characteritized by bearing clingstone fruit which ripens approximately twenty days earlier than fruit of the Nectar Peach Tree (U.S. Plant Pat. No. 86), having superior shipping and keeping qualities; flesh of a white or cream color (10-B-1); skin of cream ground color (17-O-1) overlaid with blush red (3-J-10) to dark red (6-K-9); and large, showy blossoms; and such tree being particularly characterized as to novelty by bearing peaches which, when fully ripe, have flesh which is very firm and non-melting and virtually completely free of color.
