Flt-41 ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE 1 Claim 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.
  • 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). A large number of seeds of such parent variety were planted and the resultant seedlings grown under careful and continuing observation by me. One of such seedlings-and which is the present varietyevidenced novel and distinctive charteristics favorable for commercial growing, and I, therefore, selected such one seedling for asexual reproduction.
  • the present variety of nectarine tree is large, vigorous, spreading, foliated with large-to-medium-size, lanceolate leaves having a crenate margin, and a regular and productive bearer of uniform, medium size, globose, semifree-to-clingstone fruit having yellow skin substantially ovrespread with red, and yellow flesh; the variety, While generally resembling the Red June nectarine, being essentially distinctively characterized by fruit which ripens about one week earlier, is not quite as firm, and has more mottling on the surface of the skin.
  • the drawing is an illustration, by photographic reproduction in color, of a twig with leaves, and separate fruit; one of the latter being cut to expose the flesh.
  • Col0r.Yellow (9-L-4) overspread with red (5- L-6), shading to darker red (6-L-6). Many yellow flecks.
  • 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 de- 3 scription 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, foliated with large-to-meclium-size, lanceolate leaves having a crenate margin, and a regular and productive bearer of uniform, medium size, globose, semi-free-to-clingstone fruit having yellow skin substan- 4i tially overspread with red, and yellow flesh; the variety, while generally resembling the Red June nectarine, being essentially distinctively characterized by fruit wh ch ripens about one week earlier, is not quite as ilrrn, and has more mottling on the surface of the skin.
