Definitions

  • the novelty of the present variety of nectarine tree resides primarily in the ripening period, and the size. color, flesh, texture, and keeping and shipping qualities of the fruit.
  • the fruit of the herein claimed variety of nectarine tree ripens about two weeks after the Freedom nectarine (United States Plant Patent No. 1161), or substantially with the Stanwick nectarine (unpatented), which latter has long been a standard shipping variety in the State of California.
  • the fruit of the present variety is superior for commercial shipping and market use, as the freestone fruit is yellow fleshed instead of white, larger by approximately 50%, firmer in texture. has more external red color, and is of a quality which keeps and ships better, especially for long distance shipping.
  • the present new and distinct variety of nectarine was originated by me in my experimental nursery and orchard near Merced, California, as part of a long and continuing nectarine breeding project; the purpose of suchproject having been the origination and development of superior nectarines for commercial use.
  • the instant variety is one of a number of seedlings produced from seeds of the clingstone nectarine Le Grand (United States Plant Patent No. 549); the pistils of whose flowers were artificially pollinated by me from flowers of an unnamed yellow fleshed nectarine that had resulted from a cross (F-l) between Le Grand and Kim (United States Plant Patent No. 173) nectarines.
  • Fig. 1 is an elevation showing two of the fruit of the present variety, together with twigs and leaves.
  • Fig. 2 is a sectional elevation of one of the fruit with the stone exposed.
  • Fig. 3 is a fragmentary elevation of one of the leaves.
  • Tree Medium to large; vigorous; spreading; open; vase formed; hardy; productive; regular bearer.
  • Trunk Medium to stocky. Medium texture.
  • Branches Medium length. Medium thickness. Medium texture. Color-grey. Lenticels--medium number; medium size.
  • Colon-Yellow (9-L-5 shading to 9-L-8), mottled over a substantial portion with orange red (l-F- l2), shading to a deeper red (3L-6), overlaid in part with red streaks (6-L-6).
  • Flavon-Sub-acid mild.
  • the tree and its fruit herein described may vary in slight detail due to climatic and soil conditions under which the variety may be grown.
  • a new and distinct variety of nectarine tree as described and illustrated, characterized-as compared with the Stanwick nectarine-by frecstone fruit which is yellow instead of white fleshed, approximately 50% larger in size, with more exterior red color, of better keeping and shipping qualities, and having substantially the same 4 ripening period, which period is approximately two weeks later than the Freedom nectarine; and further characterized by fruit having strong stems, which fruit I hangs well on the tree when ripe.
