We claim: 
     
       1. A new and distinct variety of peach tree, substantially as illustrated and described, which is of large size, vigorous upright growth and a productive and regular bearer of large, early maturing, white flesh, clingstone fruit with good eating and shipping qualities; the fruit is further characterized in comparison to the white flesh variety Redwing Peach (U.S. Plant Pat.
