United States Patent NECTARINE TREE Frederic W. Anderson, Merced, Calif.
Application February 4, 1955, Serial No. 486,304
1 Claim. (Cl. 47-62) This invention relates to a new and distinct variety of nectarine tree originated by me during the course of a continuing experimental program for the development of nectarine varieties having commercially desirable characteristics.
The instant variety of nectarine tree bears white fleshed, semi-freestone, early ripening fruit which is distinct-in comparison to the John Rivers nectarine (unpatented) which is presently the leading nectarine in acreage in California, and heretofore the earliest ripening commercial variety-by a ripening period which is approximately ten days earlier, by somewhat softer flesh, and by much more red exterior color which makes it highly attractive for market use.
In further comparison to the John Rivers nectarine the fruit of the present variety averages slightly smaller in size.
In comparison to the Grand Rivers nectarine (United States Plant Patent 1,248), the fruit here is White fleshed rather than yellow fleshed, and is a few days earlier in ripening.
The present variety of nectarine tree was originated by me in my experimental orchard at Le Grand, California, as an F-2 cross of Le Grand nectarine (United States Plant Patent 549) and said John Rivers nectarine.
When such cross, which was grown under conditions of close inspection and continuing comparison with other varieties, came into bearing I recognized its distinctive features and commercial potential, and therefore selected it for reproduction.
Asexual reproduction of the variety was accomplished by me in my experimental orchard, as aforesaid, by top workingspecifically by budding-on mature orchard trees. Such asexual reproductions were found to carry forward all of the characteristics of the parent.
In the drawings:
Fig. l is an elevation of one of the fruit, together with a twig and leaves.
Fig. 2 is a sectional elevation of one of the fruit, with the stone partly exposed.
Fig. 3 is a fragmentary elevation of a leaf.
