A genetically dwarf peach tree which is medium size, vigorous, spreading, foliated with large, lanceolate, acutely pointed leaves having a crenate margin, blooms with large pink flowers, and is a regular and productive bearer of large to medium size, uniform, symmetrical freestone fruit having yellow skin overspread to a substantial extent with red, yellow flesh, and a beige stone.

I claim: 
     
       1. A new and distinct variety of genetically dwarf peach tree, substantially as shown and described, which is of medium size, vigorous, spreading, foliated with large, lanceolate, acutely pointed leaves having a crenate margin, blooms with large pink flowers, and is a regular and productive bearer of large to medium size, uniform, symmetrical freestone fruit having yellow skin overspread to a substantial extent with red, yellow flesh, and a beige stone; the variety having the general characteristics of the Empress, the seed parent, but is distinctive, in comparison, by fruit which is of better eating quality and ripens about 3 weeks earlier.
