  • NECTARINE TREE Filed Oct. 6, 1972 United States Patent Office Plant Pat. 3,477 Patented Feb. 12, 1974 3,477 NECTARINE TREE Frederic W. Anderson, Merced, Califl, assignor to Stark Bros Nurseries and Orchards (30., Louisiana, M0. Filed Oct. 6, 1972, Ser. No. 295,709
  • the present variety of nectarine tree was originated by me, in my experimental nursery and orchard located as aforesaid, as a first generation (F cross between the Red Grand nectarine (US. Plant Pat. No. 1,060) as the seed parent, and the Late Gold nectarine (U.S. Plant Pat. No. 2,879) as the pollen parent. In maturity, such cross evidenced certain novel and distinctive characteristics desirable for a commercially grown nectarine, and I, therefore, undertook asexual reproduction of it prepartory to ultimate commercial growing.
  • the present variety of nectarine tree is large, vigorous, spreading, open, foliated with large to medium size lanceolate leaves having reniform glands, medium in blooming period with large, pink flowers, and a regular and productive bearer of large, globose, symmetrical, uniform fruit having orange-yellow skin substantially overspread with red shading to a deeper purplish-red, yellow flesh, and a red pit cavity with the red streaked into the flesh.
  • the present variety of nectarine tree characterized as above, most nearly resembles the Late Gold, the pollen parent, butin particular comparison thereto-the skin of the fruit has a smoother texture, a deeper red color, and less growth cracks upon ripening; the ripening period of the fruit being several days earlier than said Late Gold, and about with the Le Grand nectarine (U.S. Plant Pat. No. 549).
  • the present variety of nectarine tree is also characterizedin particular comparison to the Red Grand, the seed parentby fruit which is freestone rather than clingstone, and of much better eating quality; the ripening period of the fruit being two or three days later than said Red Grand.
  • the drawing is an illustration, by photographic reproduction in color, of leaves and fruit of the variety; one fruit being cut in half to expose the flesh, with the stone remaining in place in one of the cut halves.
  • Colon-Yellow (ll-L-S). Surface of pit cavity- Red (6-L- 6) with the red streaked into the flesh.
  • the nectarine tree and its fruit herein described may vary in slight detail due to climatic and soil conditions under which the variety may be grown; the present description being of the variety as grown in the Central Valley of California.
  • a new and distinct variety of nectarine tree substantially as illustrated and described, which is large, vigorous, spreading, open, foliated with large to medium size lanceolate leaves having reniform glands, medium in blooming period with large, pink flowers, and a regular and productive bearer of large globose, symmetrical, uniform fruit having orange-yellow skin substantially overspread with red shading to a deeper purplish-red, yellow flesh, and a red pit cavity with the red streaked into the flesh; the variety being characterized, in particular comparison to the Late Gold, by fruit which has a smoother and a deeper red skin with less growth cracks, and by fruit which ripens several days earlier than said Late Gold, and about with the Le Grand; and the variety also being characterized, in particular comparison to the Red Grand, by fruit which is freestone rather than clingstone, of better eating quality, and ripens two or three days later than said Red Grand.
