Definitions

• the present invention is directed to a new and distinct variety of nectarine tree which bears yellow fleshed, clingstone fruit.
• One 01' the primary aims of such program has been the origination of a series of new and distinct nectarine varieties having different ripening periods, but which periods are sufficiently related that a relatively long harvest season of nectarine fruit may be attained by the planting of a number of such varieties.
• the instant variety oi nectarine tree provides a ripening period which supplies the trade with fruit at a time between the end of the harvest of the Le Grand nectarine and the beginning of the harvest of the Late Le Grand nectarine; the present variety having a ripening period beginning approximately one week later than the Le Grand nectarine and approximately one week earlier than the Late Le Grand nectarine.
• the present variety effectively fills the gap, in the continuity of harvest of the several identified varieties of my nectarines, previously existent between the Le Grand nectarine and the Late Le Grand nectarine.
• nectarlne has tree and fruit characteristics which closely resemble those of the Le Grand and Late Le Grand nectarines, the major distributing characteristic is its ripening period; to-wit, ripening approximately one week later than the Le Grand and approximately one week earlier than the Late Le Grand nectarine.
• Another distinctive characteristic of the present variety of nectarine is that the seeds or kernels are sweet, while the Le Grand and Late Le Grand nectarines have the usual bitter kernels so normal to peach and nectarine varieties.
• the tree and its fruit of the present variety may vary in slight detail due to climatic and soil conditions under which the variety may be grown.
• nectarlne tree as described, characterized-in comparison to the Le Grand and Late Le Grand nectarines-by similar tree and fruit characteristics, but distinguished by a ripening period approximately one week later than the Le Grand nectarine and approximately one week earlier than the Late Le Grand nectarine, and by sweet kernels.
