  • This invention relates to a new and distinct variety of nectarine tree which bears medium sized, highly colored, substantially white fleshed fruit having good shipping and eating qualities. 7 As compared to the John Rivers nectarine (unpatented), and which is presently the leading nectarine in acreage in California, the fruit of the instant variety ripens at approximately the same time but is larger in size; has more exterior red color; has a much shorter chilling requirement; and is firmer in flesh, remaining firm and marketable over a considerably longer period of time.
  • nectarine tree is a more regular bearer and a heavier producer than said John Rivers nectarine.
  • nectarine tree was originated by me-during the course of a continuing program seeking more desirable commercial nectarines-in my experimental orchard at Le Grand, Merced County, California, as an F-2 cross of the Le Grand nectarine (United States Plant Patent No. 549), and the John Rivers nectan'ne (unpatented).
  • Fig. 1 is a perspective view of the fruit, together with a twig and leaves of the present variety.
  • Fig. 2 is a sectional elevation of the fruit with the stone exposed.
  • Fig. 3 is a fragmentary sectional elevation of one of the leaves showing particularly the glands.
  • the tree and its fruit herein described may vary in 15 A slight detail due to climatic and soil conditions under which the variety may be grown.
  • a new and distinct variety of nectarine tree as illustrated and described, characterized by medium sized, white fleshed, highly red colored, freestone fruit which ripens at approximately the same time as the John Rivers nectarine, but in comparison with the latter being a more regular bearer, a heavier producer, and the fruit having more exterior red color, a much shorter chilling requirement, being of larger size, firmer in flesh, and remaining firm and marketable over a considerably longer period of time.
