A01h 5/03 US. Cl. Plt.41 1 Claim My invention relates to a new and distinct variety of nectarine tree which bears yellow-fleshed fruit characterized as to novelty by ripening earlier; the ripening period being approximately days earlier than Grand River (U.S. Plant Pat. No. 1,248).
- the new variety is also characterized, as to novelty, as having increased productivity and the ability to size a greater number of fruits per tree than other early fruiting nectarine varieties.
- the new variety of nectarine tree was originated by me in my experimental orchard near Modesto, Calif., as a second generation seedling from a cross between Early Sun Grand nectarine (U.S. Plant Pat. No. 1,420) and the July Elberta peach (U.S. Plant Pat. No. 30).
- the present variety was asexually propagated by grafting and budding, as performed at Modesto, Calif, and shows that said characteristics come true to form and are established and transmitted through succeeding propagations.
- Date of first and last picking Generally ripens in late May, although over prolonged observation dates of first picking varied from May 28 to June 6 with last picking from June 8 to June 18.
- Thicknesa-Medium Texture.Tough to medium, tenacious to flesh
- a new and distinct variety of nectarine tree as illustrated and described which bears large to medium, cling stone fruit having yellow flesh; characterized by ripening approximately 10 days earlier than the Grand River nectarine (Plant Pat. No. 1,248) and the Merrill Sunrise nectarine (Plant Pat. No. 1,256); and further characterized, in comparison with said other varieties, by heavier production of larger size fruits of red color shading to maroon which overspreads a yellow ground color.

NECTARINE TREE Filed July 24, 1969 INVENT R United States Patent 3,087 NECTARINE TREE Chris Floyd Zaiger, 537 Rosemore Ave., Modesto, Calif. 95351 Filed July 24, 1969, Ser. No. 844,672 Int. Cl. A01h 5/03 US. Cl. Plt.41 1 Claim My invention relates to a new and distinct variety of nectarine tree which bears yellow-fleshed fruit characterized as to novelty by ripening earlier; the ripening period being approximately days earlier than Grand River (U.S. Plant Pat. No. 1,248). The new variety is also characterized, as to novelty, as having increased productivity and the ability to size a greater number of fruits per tree than other early fruiting nectarine varieties. The fruit colors two to three weeks before ripening; has a greater number of larger, smoother fruit than other early varieties.
The new variety of nectarine tree was originated by me in my experimental orchard near Modesto, Calif., as a second generation seedling from a cross between Early Sun Grand nectarine (U.S. Plant Pat. No. 1,420) and the July Elberta peach (U.S. Plant Pat. No. 30). The present variety was asexually propagated by grafting and budding, as performed at Modesto, Calif, and shows that said characteristics come true to form and are established and transmitted through succeeding propagations.
The following is a detailed description of the foliage and fruit of my new variety, as based upon observations of specimens grown near Modesto, Calif, with color terminology in accordance with Reinhold Color Atlas by A. Kornerup and J. H. Wanscher.
Date of first and last picking: Generally ripens in late May, although over prolonged observation dates of first picking varied from May 28 to June 6 with last picking from June 8 to June 18.

1 /2 average The tree and its fruit herein described may vary in slight detail due to climate and soil conditions under which the variety may be grown. The description is that of the variety produced uder ecological conditions prevailing at Modesto, Calif, and the characteristics are found to hold true in asexual reproduction.
The following is claimed:
1. A new and distinct variety of nectarine tree as illustrated and described which bears large to medium, cling stone fruit having yellow flesh; characterized by ripening approximately 10 days earlier than the Grand River nectarine (Plant Pat. No. 1,248) and the Merrill Sunrise nectarine (Plant Pat. No. 1,256); and further characterized, in comparison with said other varieties, by heavier production of larger size fruits of red color shading to maroon which overspreads a yellow ground color.
