Peach tree-mutation of Loring variety

Abstract

A new and distinct peach tree variety which originated as a bud mutation of the Loring Peach variety (unpatented) is provided. The fruit of the variety ripens approximately 10 to 14 days earlier than that of the Loring Peach variety, and develops a more intense red color over nearly all of its surface well before the date the fruit softens.

I claim: 
     
       1. A new and distinct variety of peach tree, substantially as illustrated and described, which bears fruit of excellent quality which ripens approximately 10 to 14 days earlier than the fruit of the Loring Peach variety (unpatented), and develops a more intense red blush over nearly all of its surface approximately 8 to 10 days prior to harvest maturity.
