  • NECTARINE TREE Filed Feb. 16, 1966 United States Patent 2,929 NECTARINE TREE David L. Armstrong, Ontario, Calif-Z, assignor to Armstrong Nurseries, Inc., Ontario, Calif., a corporation of California Filed Feb. 16, 1968, Ser. No. 706,196 Int. Cl. A0111 /08 US. Cl.
  • the present invention relates to a new and distinct variety of nectarine tree which was originated by me as an open-pollinated seedling of an unnamed and unplanted dwarf nectarine variety which, in turn, was a seedling resulting from open-pollination of an unnamed and unpatented tall peach variety which was a seedling derived from cross-pollination of the nectarine variety known as Pioneer (Plant Patent No. 787), the seed parent, an unnamed and unpatented dwarf peach resulting from an extended series of crosses going back two or three generations to the peach varieties known as Babcock (unpatented), Double Pink (unpatented), Rio Oso Gem (Plant Patent No. 84), July Elberta (Plant Patent No. and Chinese Dwarf (unpatented, but identified as PI No. 41,395).
  • the unnamed seed parent of my new nectarine variety was a dwarf nectarine variety similar to the new variety, but the fruit of this parent has less red skin coloring, more red color around the pit, the parent fruit ripens about ten days later than the fruit of the new variety, and the flowers of the parent variety are single, whereas those of the new variety are semi-double.
  • the new variety differs from its ancestor varieties mentioned by name in the foregoing by being a dwarf nectarine, whereas none of these varieties are dwarf nectarines.
