the first generation of this crossconsisted of a group of yellow-eshed, freestone peaches, and the Seeds of these-resulting from open-pollinated flowers were planted in a nursery row and later top-worked to orchard trees. Substantially one-quarter of the resulting progeny were nectarines, and the present variety was recognized, in such group of nectarines, as being new and distinct by reason of its ripening period relative to other varieties of nectarines, as will hereinafter appear.
TrunkMedium size; medium texture.
BranchesMedium size; medium texture.
the present varietyripens immediately following the 'clingstone nectarine Le Grand (United States Plant Patent No. 549), and substantially with or a few days earlier than the Stanwiek nectarine (not patented).
the fruit of the instant varietyhas firm yellow flesh with ,4 highly colored skin; the latter being yellow, almost completely overspread with red, as heretofore described.
the tree and its fruit herein describedmay vary in slight detail due to climatic and soil conditions under which the variety may be grown.
nectarne treesubstantially as described and illustrated, bearing large, firm, yellow fleshed freestone fruit yellow in color but almost completely overspread with red; such fruit ripening approximately one month later than the Sun Grand nectarine, immediately subsequent to the clingstone Le Grand nectarine, and substantially With or a few days earlier than the Stanwick nectarine.
