F. W ANDERSON NECTARINE TREE Filed Aug. 15. 1973 Oct. 8, 1974 United States Patent O 3,633 NECTARINE TREE Frederic W. Anderson, Merced, Calif, assignor to Reedley Nursery, inc, Reedley, Calif. Filed Aug. 15, 1973, Ser. No. 388,565 lint. Cl. Atllh 5/03 US. Cl. Pit-41 1 Claim ABTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE A nectarine tree which is large, vigorous, upright, foliated with medium size, lanceolate leaves having a crenate margin, and a productive bearer of uniform, medium size, globose to oblong, freestone fruit having yellow skin substantially entirely overspread with a deep red, and yellow flesh.
Background of the variety: Over a substantial number of years I have engaged in an extensive and continuing plant breeding program at my experimental nursery and orchard located near Le Grand, Merced County, Calif; one purpose of such program being to provide improved varieties of fruit trees. The present variety of nectarine tree resulted from my endeavors in the conduct of such plant breeding program.
Origin of the variety: The present variety of nectarine tree Was originated by me, in my experimental nursery and orchard located as aforesaid, as an open-pollinated seedling of the Red June nectarine (U.S. Plant Pat. No. 2,044).
Asexual reproduction of the variety: Upon recognition by me of a novel and distinctive characteristic (as will hereinafter appear) of the present variety of nectarine tree, I asexually reproduced it by grafting on mature orchard trees in my said experimental orchard, and in maturity such reproductions ran true to the parent tree in all respects.
,Summary of the variety: The present variety of nectarine tree is large, vigorous, upright, foliated with medium size, lanceolate leaves having a crenate margin, and a productive bearer of uniform, medium size, globose to oblong, freestone fruit having yellow skin substantially entirely overspread with a deep red, and yellow flesh; the varietywhile generally resembling the Red June nectarinebeing distinctively characterized by fruit ripening about one week earlier.
Brief description of the drawing: The drawing is an illustration, by photographic reproduction in color, of a twig with leaves, and separate fruit; one of the latter being cut in half to expose the flesh, and the stone remaining in one of the halves.
Description of the variety: The botanical details of this new and distinct variety of nectarine tree-with color definitions (except those in common color terms) referenced to Maerz and Paul Dictionary of Colorare as follows:

Average length- Average 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.
I claim:
1. A new and distinct variety of nectarine tree, substantially as illustrated and described, which is large, vigorous, upright, foliated with medium size, lanceolate leaves having a crenate margin, and a productive bearer of uniform, medium size, globose to oblong, freestone fruit having yellow skin substantially entirely overspread with a deep red, and yellow flesh; the variety-which resembles the Red June nectarine-being distinctively characterized, in comparison, by fruit which ripens about one week earlier.
