Definitions
- One of the distinguishing characteristics of the present variety of nectarine tree is that it has a relatively early ripening period, being in harvest substantially with the John Rivers nectarine (unpatented), and about a week or ten days later than the Merrill Sunrise nectarine (United States Plant Patent No. 1256).
- Another distinguishing characteristic of the present nectarine tree is that the fruit is extremely firm when very highly colored; thus being especially desirable not only for local market, but for long distance shipping.
- a further distinguishing characteristic of the present necatrine tree is that fruit ripened in the full sun is nearly completely over-spread with mahogany-red, while on fruit in shady portions of the tree the red may be onehalf to three-fourths over-spread.
- the present variety of nectarine tree bears yellow instead of white fleshed fruit, and which is of much more desirable quality for the market, particularly with respect to size, skin and fiesh color, and firmness.
- the fruit of the instant variety of nectarine has a somewhat similar color to the Merrill Sunrise nectarine, but has less yellow flecking on the skin and more of a mahogany red than a brownish red color; the flavor and aroma being higher' and unusually good for a yellow fieshed nectarine.
- the herein claimed variety of nectarine tree was originated by me, under careful controls and continuing inspection in my experimental orchard near Red Blulf, California, as a second generation, open-pollinated blossom, seedling of a cross of the I. H. Hale peach (unpatented) and the Flaming Gold nectarine (unpatented).
- Such cross produced a quantity of Seeds, which Were planted and resulted in first generation seedlings. Seeds from the same, with open-pollinated blossoms, produced second generation seedlings. One of the latter was observed to be a vigorous grower and evidenced desirable fruit characteristics, particularly as to the period of ripening and the quality of the fruit. This particular second generation seedling was therefore selected by me for propagation, and which is the present variety.
- Fig. 1 is an elevation of one of the fruit, together with a twig on leaves.
- FIG. 2 is a sectional elevation of one of the fruit, with the stone exposed.
- Tree Large size; vigorous growth; spread normal; form and density controlled by pruning; very productive; regular bearer.
- Color-( 10 L-2) over-spread to a major extent with red (4-L 10), shading to a deep mahogany (7-L-6), sometimes with yellow flecking, especially on the largest fruit, and more so on fruit from rank growing young grafts.
- Amygdalin-Moderate typically ovoid to Amygdalin-Moderate.
- Flavor-Delcate vinous.
- Stoner-Cling to hard ripe free when soft ripe. Retains short fiber-like threads at the stem end.
- Ventural edge Thick usually without Wing towards base.
- 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.
