Peach tree, Fancy Lady

Abstract

A new and distinct variety of Peach Tree which is denominated varietally as "Fancy Lady" and which is somewhat similar to the Sparkle Peach Treet (U.S. Plant Pat. No. 3,298) with which it is most closely related, the subject variety characterized principally as to novelty by producing fruit which are mature for harvesting and shipment approximately one month earlier than the fruit produced by the Sparkle variety of peach tree in the San Joaquin Valley of central California.

Having thus described and illustrated our new variety of peach tree, what is new and desired to be secured by Letters Patent is: 
     
       1. A new and distinct variety of peach tree substantially as illustrated and described and which is somewhat similar to the Sparkle Peach Tree (U.S. Plant Pat. No. 3,298) from which it was discovered as a scaffold mutation, but from which it is distinguished therefrom and characterized principally as to novelty by bearing fruit which are mature for commercial harvesting and shipment approximately June 18 through June 26, the date of harvesting being approximately one month earlier than the Sparkle Peach Tree and which further produces fruit which have a more symmetrical shape and which are more highly colored than the fruit produced by the Sparkle Peach Tree.
