Peach tree `White Princess`

Abstract

The present invention relates to a peach tree and more particularly to a new and distinct variety broadly characterized by a medium size, vigorous, hardy, productive and regular bearing tree. The fruit matures under the ecological conditions described approximately the second week in August, with first picking on Aug. 10th, 1994. The fruit is uniformly large in size, excellent in flavor, attractively globose in shape, freestone in type, very firm and white flesh in texture and mostly red in skin color. The variety was developed as a first generation cross using the unnamed yellow flesh genetically dwarf peach seedling as the selected seed parent and `August Snow` (U.S. Plant Pat. No. 8,947) white flesh nectarine as the selected pollen parent.

We claim: 
     
       1. A new and distinct variety of peach tree, substantially as illustrated and described, which produces fruit that exhibits the desirable characteristics common to its pollen parent. `August Snow` (U.S. Plant Pat. No. 8,947) white flesh nectarine, by producing freestone fruit that is white in flesh color, sweet sub-acid in flavor, firm in texture, and mostly red in skin color, but is distinguished therefrom and an improvement thereon by producing fruit that is larger in size, rounder in shape, and peach instead of nectarine.
