Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a new and distinct variety of nectarine plant, originated from seed resulting from hand pollination of a first generation seedling of Goldmine nectarine (unpatented) Rio Oso Gem peach (Plant Patent No. 84), with pollen from a first generation seedling of Goldmine nectarine July Elberta peach (Plant Patent No.
  • This new variety differs from its parent varieties in that it is a nectarine, whereas both parents were peaches, both of whichfhowever, were genetically heterozygous for nectarine. It is most similar in appearance and climatic adaptation to the variety Goldmine, which is also a white-fleshed freestone, but it is more highly colored on the skin and ripens fully six weeks earlier, and has a substantially shorter dormancy requirement than Goldmine. It is similar in breeding background to the variety Pioneer (Plant Patent No.
  • the accompanying drawing shows specimens of the foliage and fruit of this new nectarine tree, with the fruit in elevation and also in section, with and without the pit.
  • Dates of first and last picking Varies somewhat from year to year because of variable winter chilling in Southern California but usually ripens during the last week in June or the first week in July; occasionally ripens as early as mid-June and as late as mid-July. Picking period-10 days.
  • Trunk Medium stocky; moderately smooth. Branches: Medium stocky; moderately "smooth;
  • Colon-Color of one year old branch (1 cm. dia.) Bark is basically Warm Sepia, Plate XXIX (Ridgway), mostly overlaid with thin outer layer of Smoke Gray, Plate XLVI (Ridgway). Where more exposed to sun the color approaches Saccardos Umber, Plate XXIX (Ridgway).
  • LcnticeZs -Medium in number; medium size.
  • GZands. Average number, 2 to 7; some opposite; mostly alternate; medium size; reniform. Color-near Kildare Green, Plate XXXI (Ridgway). Sometimes tinged with Pecan Brown, Plate XXVIII 3 (Ridgway). Position--near base of leaf on upper half of petiole; occasionally on the base of the leaf blade. Stipules.--Early deciduous; 5 to '7 mm. in length; narrow with pointed apex; long irregular glandular teeth on the margins.
  • Flower buds Free portions of the calyx are pubescent. Before the petals unfold the pistil usually protrudes and finally many of the stamens also protrude before the petals unfold. Length of bud as petals begin to unfold, -18 mm. Plump.
  • Form Somewhat variable; symmetrical; broadly ovoid.
  • Stem ccwity -ltounded with suture showing on one side. Depth-% inch. Breadthinch. Markings-suture more distinct in stem cavity.
  • Stem Length, /4 inch; medium to stout; glabrous. Adherence to stonestrong to medium.
  • Skin Medium thick; medium tough; somewhat tenacious to flesh. Tendency to crack-none in wet or dry season.
  • Stone Free; fibres short; retains short fibre-like threads along dorsal ridge.
  • Size-Medium to small length, l to 1% inches; breadth, to inches; thickness, /2 to inches.
  • a new and distinct variety of nectarine plant characterized as to novelty by its early ripening season in subtropical climates, by its white-fleshed and freestone fruit with high skin color, by its short dormancy requirement, and by its wavy and crinkled leaves, substantially as shown and described.
