Definitions
- the new variety nectarine tree is an improvement over the Merrill Princess in being larger, more vigorous, and more productive and in bearing fruit that is larger, more nearly spherical and thicker skinned.
- a collateral object has been to produce a new nectarine variety characterized by moderate but consistent fruit set which minimizes pruning and thinning requirements without being subject to irregular production.
- FIG.1 is a water color painting of characteristic fruit bearing twig of the subject nectarine tree having leaves and mature nectarines thereon.
- Fig. 2 is a water color painting showing a characteristic fruit of the subject nectarine tree divided on its suture plane to reveal flesh coloration and showing a pit in place therein.
- nectarine tree The most distinctive characteristics in the instant variety of nectarine tree are its large size and heavy production for its season, and its production of large, firm, yellow fleshed, highly colored, thick skinned nectarines that are semi-freestone when ripened off the tree.
- the instant variety most nearly resembles Merrill Princess nectarine (Plant Patent No. 1,410) but is an improvement thereon in that the tree is more vigorous and heavy producing and the fruit is larger and more round and the skin is thicker.
- This new variety of nectarine was produced by me on my farm near Red Blufi, Tehama County, California by crossing J. H. Hale (unpatented) and Flaming Gold nectarine (unpatented) followed by two generations of open pollinated seedlings therefrom.
- Trunk Medium stocky, medium shaggy, brownish grey.
- Branches Older branches, greyish and shaggy; younger branches, brown to medium brown andmore smooth, with numerous, medium size lenticels.
- v Leaves (selected from midportion of vigorous unbranched terminal shoots 18" to 24" long):
- Glands.0 to 4 average 2, mostly opposite and alternate, medium small size, rem'form, reddish brown, position, on petiole and base of leaf.
- SuturaAhallow extends from base to beyond, but discontinuous at apex. Slight depression beyond pistil point.
- Ventral surface.Rounded slightly ridged on either side.
- Cavity -Moderately rounded, abrupt, generally circular, only slightly elongated in suture .plane, with suture showing slightly on the dorsal side, and conspicuous on the ventral side. Depth about /2 breadth about /2". Markingsmostly green with some dark red to some all red.
- C0l0r.-Fr0m greenish yellow near the stem end (IO-L-l) to an orange yellow over most of the area of the flesh (9-L-6) to a deeper orange yellow (9-K-7).
- Stone Semi-free when ripened oif the tree, cling when firm ripe or when ripened on the tree. Fibers almost absent.
- a new and distinct variety of nectarine tree substantially as illustrated and described, characterized by its large size and heavy production; its bearing of firm, yellow fleshed, intensely red, thick skinned, large, nectarines which are semi-freestone when ripened ofl the tree, and which ripen at the same time to five days earlier than fruit of the Merrill Princess nectarine tree (Plant Patent No. 1,410); and which is further distinguished from the Merrill Princess nectarine tree and an improvement thereover in its greater vigor and productivity and by the production of larger and more nearly spherical fruit having thicker skin.
