A new and distinct variety of peach tree is characterized by producing a
freestone fruit with good red coloration, and that is ripe for commercial
harvesting and shipment between July 13-20 in the San Joaquin Valley of
Central California. The new variety is closely similar to the `O'Henry`
peach tree (nonpatented) from which it is a bud sport and from which it
is distinguishable in that the fruit matures earlier than the `O'Henry`
peach fruit, is more highly colored, has very good flavor and stores very
well.
