A new peach tree of standard size, which yields heavy crops of large fruit in about the last week of July to the first week of August in Avon, Ohio. The tree is spreading in habit and of normal density. Fruit has an attractively patterned overcolor a golden ground color; fruit is large, freestone, of rounded, attractive shape, and has firm, juicy yellow flesh with some red flecking. The tree, being self-fertile, may be planted alone in a home garden without having to plant a pollinator tree within pollination distance.

`George's Red` peach tree

An all-plastic drum construction permits a variety of sizes and capacity of drum by utilizing an extruded tube for the drum side walls of selected diameter and length proportional to the drum capacity desired. An injection molded bottom closure is welded to the bottom end of the tube by a thermoplastic bonding material having dispersed iron particles which are excited when exposed to induction heating thereby facilitating the melting of the thermoplastic. This welding material is disposed within a cavity defined by the bottom closure and bottom end of the tube and when subjected to induction heating and pressure fills the cavity to effectuate the bond between surfaces of the bottom closure and bottom end of the tube. A tight head drum is formed by securing by a similar welding technique a top closure to the upper end of the tube. In forming an open head drum, a thermoplastic chime is initially welded in similar fashion to the upper end of the tube. Thereafter, a top cover is releasably secured to the chime by a locking rim assembly.

Variable capacity all-plastic drum

An all plastic tubular drum is blow molded into the selected configuration from an extruded parison. The parison is provided with at least two spaced circumferentially extending thickened sections. These thickened sections are captured in a compression mold cavity during the blow molding cycle. Thereafter the captured thickened sections are compression molded into outwardly extending projections, undercuts, reinforcing gussets, or the like.
