Peach tree named Lady Nancy

Abstract

A new peach tree variety which originated as a natural limb mutation of the cultivar `Jerseyqueen`, producing late maturing, large, globose to ovate, very firm fruit, having a strong red skin color, with white flesh and a yellow suture line just under the skin, long storage life, slow softening flesh, the tree being large, very vigorous, and moderately productive.

I claim: 
     
       1. A new and distinct variety of peach tree, substantially as herein shown and described, characterized particularly as to novelty by the unique combination of large size, very vigorous, open, spreading, vase shaped, regular bearing tree, producing freestone fruit having white flesh with a yellow suture line, moderate winter hardiness and greater firmness than other white peaches, providing excellent shipping quality, superior flavor and earlier ripening than the variety `Rio Oso Gem`.
