Our new development is a new and distinct variety of peach tree whose novelty consists of the following unique combination of desirable features: 1. Heavy and regular production of large size fruit. 2. Fruit with firm flesh, good storage and shipping ability. 3. The ability of the fruit to hold firm on the tree 6-7 days after maturity (shipping ripe). 4.Fruit with a high degree of attractive red skin color. 5. Fruit with good flavor and eating quality. 6. Vigorous and upright growth. 7. Relatively uniform ripening of the fruit throughout the tree.
A new and distinct variety of peach tree, substantially as illustrated and described, characterized by its large size, vigorous, upright growth, which is a productive and regular bearer of large, yellow flesh, semi clingstone fruit with good flavor and eating quality;

The new variety of peach tree was developed by us in our experimental orchard located near Modesto, Calif., as an open pollinated seedling of Rich Lady Peach (U.S. Plant Pat. No. 7,290). A large number of these open pollinated seedlings were grown under careful observation and the above seedling having been especially desirable with respect to its fruit was selected for asexual reproduction and commercialization.
The present new variety of peach tree was asexually reproducd by budding, as performed by us in our experimental orchard ocated near Modesto, Calif., which shows that said characteristics come true to the original tree and are established and transmitted through succeeding propagations.
The present new variety of peach tree is of large size, vigorous, upright growth and is a regular and productive bearer of large size, firm, yellow flesh, semi clingstone fruit with good flavor and eating quality. The fruit is further characterized by being relatively uniform is size throughout the tree, holding firm on the tree 6 to 7 days after maturity (shipping ripe), having good storage and shipping quality and an attractive red skin color; in comparison to its seed parent Rich Lady Peach (U.S. Plant Pat. No. 7,290) the new variety is approximately 6 to 7 days later in maturity.
The accompanying photographic illustration shows typical specimens of the foliage and fruit of the present new variety of peach tree. The upper and lower surface of the leaves are shown as well as a fruit divided in its suture plane to reveal flesh coloration, pit cavity and a stone remaining in place. The photographic illustration was taken shortly after the fruit was picked at maturity (shipping ripe) and the colors are as nearly true as reasonably possible in a color representation of this type.
The botanical detailed description of the present new and distinct variety of peach tree, its flowers, foliage and fruit are based on observations of specimens grown near Modesto, Calif., with color terminaolgy (except those in common terms) in accordance with Reinhold Color Atlas by A. Kornerup and J. H. Wanscher.
