Peach tree

Abstract

A peach tree which is large, vigorous, spreading, open, vase-formed, hardy, foliated with large, lanceolate, acutely pointed leaves having a coarsely serrate margin and alternate, reniform glands, bears medium size, obtuse, plump flower buds, blooms early with large, pink flowers, and is a regular and productive bearer of early-ripening, medium size, clingstone fruit of globose form with unequal sides, the fruit--somewhat variable in both size and form--having yellow flesh, yellow skin substantially overspread with red in maturity, and a large stone.

I claim: 
     
       1. A new and distinct variety of peach tree, substantially as illustrated and described, which is generally similar in tree and fruit to the Springcrest variety, but distinctively characterized, in comparison, by fruit which ripens, for harvest, seven to ten days earlier.
