43129. AMYGDALUS PERSICA. Late Champion Peach. From New Zealand. Plants presented 
by H. R. Wright. This late-maturing freestone peach appears to thrive as far north 
as New Jersey and southern Michigan, in Oklahoma, and also in California. The tree 
is large and vigorous, and bears a good crop of roundish fruit about 24 inches in 
diameter. The skin is yellow, tinged with red, and the golden-yellow flesh is sweet, 
spicy, and of good texture. The pit is small and pink. At Chico, California, it 
matures early in October; it is of promise as a late dessert peach, and should be 
gocd for shipping and canning. The plants are on Bolivian freestone peach stocks.

from seed obtained through John R. Putnam, American Consul at Valencia, Spain. Fruits 
large, clingstone, about 24 inches in diameter, yellow with a red blush; flesh golden 
yellow throughout and of excellent flavor; pit small. This variety promises to be 
of value as a commercial canning peach. It remains firm when cooked, retains its 
delicate flavor, and does not require a heavy sirup. The fruit ripens at Chico the 
latter part of August. The plants are on peach seedlings of F. P. I. No. 36127.
