Definitions
- This invention relates generally to nectarines, and is directed in particular to a yellow fleshed nectarine.
- yellow fleshed nectarines have not been of any appreciable commercial value due to the fact that the fruit is relatively small and the flesh is soft.
- the cultivation of nectarines has therefore not been practicable because the fruits have been too delicate to meet the demands of commerce.
- the nectarine herein described was produced at Le Grand, California in the following manner:
- Figure 1 is a perspective view of my nectarine.
- Figure 2 is a sectional View taken axially of the fruit and with the stone remaining in place.
- Figure 3 is a perspective view of a leaf of the nectarine tree described herein.
- the tree is large and vigorous as well as being spreading and open, vase-formed, very productive and a regular bearer.
- the trunk of the tree is medium in size while the branches are of medium size and a glossy brown color.
- the lenticels are of medium size and number.
- the fruit is of large uniform size, symmetrical, globose in shape, and has a shallow suture.
- the fruit averages 2 /2 inches in diameter axially, 2% inches transversely in the suture plane, and 2% inches transversely at right angles to the suture plane.
- the cavity and base are rounded and the apex is depressed.
- the stem 5 is medium in length, glabrous and its adherence to the stone is strong.
- the skin of the fruit is of medium thickness and toughness, free from the flesh, has a slight tendency to crack, its color is red on a yellow background, and down on the skin is wanting.
- the flesh of the fruit is yellow, mottled with red next to the stone.
- the surface of the pit cavity is red mottled with yellow and pink fibers.
- the fruit is moderately juicy, firm and meaty in texture, the fibers are few, fine and tender, the flavor is acid, the aroma is distinct, and the eating qualities of the fruit are ood.
- the stone of the fruit is free, of medium size, globose in form, straight at the base, oval at the hilum, and rounded at the apex.
- the sides of the stone are equal, irregularly furrowed and pitted near the base throughout and the ridges are jagged toward the apex.
- the pits are elongated, the ventral edge is thick without wing toward the base, the dorsal edge is full with a shallow broad groove throughout, and the ridges are interrupted.
- the stone is reddish yellow in color.
- Ripening period The nectarine described herein ripens from one week to ten days earlier than the Elberta peach and approximately two weeks earlier than the Lippiat nectarine. Picking of the fruit normally extends from July 7 to July 28 although these dates may vary somewhat due to seasonal conditions.
- my improved nectarine is much larger in size and firmer in flesh, although retaining the yellow colored flesh of the Lippiat. The keeping quality of the fruit is also good. These characteristics make my nectarine much more suitable for drying', canning and shipping.
- the nectarine herein described characterized by its size, firmness of flesh and early ripening period relative to the Lippiat nectarine.
