Definitions

  • My invention relates to a new and distinct variety of nectarine tree.
  • This tree has been developed by a selection from several thousand inbreds from the nectarine tree described and claimed in my Plant Patent 479, and the development Work leading to this new variety was carried on in the State of Kansas.
  • the inbred selected was a result of self-pollination of Plant Patent 479 and my new variety has been successfully asexually reproduced by budding to establish the characteristics which I will now describe.
  • this new tree is very similar to the Elberta, unpatented, with the exception that its fruit has a plum-like, waxy, and smooth or non-fuzz surface or skin, the same as Plant Patent 479.
  • its new and outstanding characteristic resides in its unusual tolerance to lead arsenical sprays.
  • this new variety compares favorably with the tree in Plant Patent 479 as an improvement over the Elberta in winter hardiness, in greater resistance of the fruit buds to winter kill and in greater hardiness to any freeze injuries.
  • This fruit may also be harvested, packed and void of any skin fuzz, down, or pubescence. Edible. very palatable and digestible.
  • ventral edge Compared with the nectarine tree in Plant Patent 479, the dorsal edge, base, tendency to split, color, and seeds are about the same.
  • Arsenical sprays-Has an unusually high tolerance to the caustic effects of lead arsenical spray with tolerance allows for practically 100% control of curculio with relatively greater prospects for a better crop of well finished fruit.
  • Canning qualities Very good. Holds its shape well without breaking down. Not necessary to remove tender skin, but this can easily be done.
  • the skin with its rich, peachy iiavor and smooth character is edible and very palatable. This skin is highly edible in either the fresh or cooked state. Due to high ilavorl it makes a very tasty canned item.
  • a new and distinct variety of nectarine tree characterized as to novelty by its unusually high tolerance to the causticity of lead arsenical spray and thereby allowing for relatively higher curculio worm control than other nectarine or peach tree varieties and strains, by the non-fuzz, plumlike waxy and smoother skin of its fruit, a highly ilavored edible, dgestable, palatable skin.
  • the winter hardiness of the tree the greater resistance of the fruit bud to Winter kill, spring frosts and to any freer-e injuries, the resistance to brown rot and storage break down, the high resistance to any nectarine or peach skin diseases, the high holding up properties of the fruit in all harvest to market operations, and the iirrnness, and iiavor of the iiesh of the fruit, substantially as described.
