Peach tree (B-41871)

Abstract

A new and distinct variety of peach tree which is large, vigorous, upright, spreading and hardy under California conditions; foliated with medium to large, lanceolate leaves having a crenate to finely serrate margin, and alternate globose glands; and is a regular and productive bearer of large, early ripening, uniform, semi-freestone, very slightly asymmetrical fruit globose in apical aspect and globose to slightly ovoid in lateral aspect, the fruit having straw-yellow ground color blushed with red, and yellow-amber flesh color.

I claim: 
     
       1. A new and distinct variety of peach tree, substantially as illustrated and described, characterized--in comparison to the Maycrest--by more vigorous tree growth; by above average uniformity of fruit distribution on the tree; by more advancement of the external color of the fruit in the early stages of ripening; and by ripening to picking maturity of the semi-freestone fruit, approximately six days earlier.
