Definitions

  • This invention is directed to a new and distinct variety of nectarine tree characterized by yellow-fleshed freestone fruit; the primary object of the invention having been the origination of a nectarine tree bearing fruit, of the type described, which is commercially desirable from the standpoint of its ripening and shipping period.
  • nectarine tree bears fruit which ripensdesirablyjust after the Sungrand nectarine (United States Plant Patent No. 974), and immediately before the Freedom nectarine (United States Plant Patent No. 1161); this being approximately with the Gower nectarine (unpatented); which latter nectarine has long Fee a standard shipping variety in the State of Caliorma.
  • the herein claimed nectarine tree bears fruit which is yellow fleshed instead of white; larger by 40% to 50%; better in eating quality; and has good keeping and shipping qualities, being at least as satisfactory as said Gower nectarine.
  • the present new and distinct variety of nectarine tree was originated by meas a seedling-in my experimental orchard near Merced, California, during the course of a long and continuing nectarine improvement program; such origination having been accomplished in the following manner:
  • 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.
  • Cavity-Rounded Circular, averaging about /2" in depth, and A" in breadth.
  • Skin Average thickness. Tenacious t0 flesh. Minimum tendency to crack in humid weather. Down wanting.
  • 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, characterizedas compared to the Gower nectarineby freestone fruit which is yellow instead of white fleshed, 40% to 50% larger in size, of better eating quality, of equal shipping quality, and having substantially the same ripening period; such period being after the Sun Grand nectarine but before the Freedom nectarine; and further characterized by fruit having a minimum tendency to crack in humid weather, strong stems, and fruit which hangs Well on the tree after ripenmg.
