Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a new variety of. nectarine tree which is of unknown parentage.
  • the grafts grew unusually rapidly and, as will subsequently become apparent, produced fruit which displayed certain combined characteristics of the Elberta peach and the Le Grand nectarine.
  • nectarines have long been appreciated as one of the most delicious deciduous fruits when eaten freshly picked from the tree. However, they have been recognized as diflicult to pick, pack and ship to market without extensive deterioration. Further, the canning of nectarines has been entirely unsatisfactory because the flesh thereof is reduced to a formless mass when cooked. In contrast with peaches which may be cooked and canned while preserving excellent flavor and physical condition, the slightest cooking for canning purposes has reduced nectarines to a sauce-like condition which is unattractive and possesses little customer appeal. Thus, it has long been an object of nurserymen and pomologists to develop a nectarine which would retain the desirable appearance and flavor of nectarines while acquiring the desirable shipping and canning characteristics of peaches.
  • the nectarine tree illustrated in the accompanying drawing, which consists of a dye transfer print of a colored photograph showing characteristic fruit and foliage of the tree, possesses many advantages but the most outstanding characteristic is believed to be the ability of its fruit to retain the visual and taste appeal of the La Grand nectarine while acquiring the cooking, canning, picking, packing, storage and shipping advantages of the Elberta peach.
  • Width approximately one and seven-sixteenths inches.
  • Glandular chararacteristics Small singles and doubles.
  • Thickness Medium for nectarines, tenacious to flesh, and medium tough.
  • Flavor Mildly acid. Somewhat similar to Elberta peach, but with noticeable characteristically nectarine flavor. I
  • Type --Free at fully ripened condition. Semi-cling at early stages and even into early picking.
  • the tree and its fruit herein described may vary somewhat in characteristics due to climatic and soil conditions under which the variety is grown and the method of growing, including the extent of pruning and thinning.
  • the description is that of the variety produced under ecological conditions prevailing in Tulare County of the San Joaquin Valley of the State of California.
  • a new and distinct variety of nectarine tree substantially as shown and described, characterized by marked similarity in the external appearance of its fruit to that of the Le Grand nectarine of Plant Patent No. 549, from which it is distinguished by firmer flesh, excellent cooking qualities, and being freestone when fully ripe; and further being characterized by the similarity in color of its flesh to that of the Elberta peach, from which is is distinguished by is glabrate, brilliantly colored skin.
