Narrative
Type = Peach. Per Okie (see citation): "Showy flowers, early season of bloom, low cropping efficiency; 450 chilling requirement; globose glands; pubescent skin; flesh white, low firmness; flat fruit shape; fair eating quality, acid flavor; freestone; ripens 17 days prior to Elberta. Uneven shape. Cracks on the bottem. Picking often tears flesh at the stem." Per The Peach and Nectarine: "The oldest known variety of peach in China. Parent of a very distinct flavour. Nearly all the seedlings of Peento are better than their parents. Size medium; shape flat with depression in centre, from which a spot of gum frequently oozes; skin green with slight red blush in the sun; flesh tender, juicy and aromatic; free and very small stone. Ripens December. Useless for anything but dessert; is a garden rather than an orchard variety. Suitable for bush and low veld of the Transvaal, midland and coastal districts of Natal, and the Eastern Province of the Cape." Per Manual of Fruits: "Flowers large; glands reniform; fruit small, so much depressed at both ends as to form a deep hollow on each; in the top one is set a broad, rough, and five-angled eye; skin pale yellowish green, mottled with red next the sun; flesh pale yellow, free, red at the stone, sweet, juicy, and noyeau-flavored; forces well in pots. Middle and end of September."
