DWARF NECTARINE TREE Filed Sept. 23, 1974 United States Patent 3,758 DWARF NECTARINE TREE Frederic W. Anderson, Merced, Califi, assignor to L. E. Cooke Co., Visalia, Calif. Filed Sept. 23, 1974, Ser. No. 508,700 Int. Cl. A01h /03 US. Cl. Plt.41 1 Claim ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE A brachytic dwarf nectarine tree which is of medium size, spreading, dense, foliated with large, lanceolate, acutely pointed leaves having a crenate margin and short petiole, and a regular and productive bearer of large, oblong, freestone fruit, variable both as to size and form, having yellow skin partially overspread with red, yellow flesh, and a red pit cavity from which the red streaks slightly into the flesh.
BACKGROUND OF THE VARIETY The present variety of dwarf nectarine tree was originated by me, in my experimental nursery and orchard located as aforesaid, as a cross between the Empress dwarf peach (U.S. Plant Pat. No. 2,533) and the Bonanza dwarf peach (U.S. Plant Pat. No. 2,213) F ASEXUAL REPRODUCTION OF THE VARIETY The present variety of dwarf nectarine tree was, upon recognition by me of its new and distinct characteristics, asexually reproduced by me by top-Working on orchard trees in my said orchard, andin maturity-such asexual reproductions ran true to the original tree, and its fruit, in all respects.
SUMMARY OF THE VARIETY The present variety of brachytic dwarf nectarine tree is of medium size, spreading, dense, foliated with large, lanceolate, acutely pointed leaves having a crenate margin and short petiole, and a regular and productive bearer of large, oblong, freestone fruit, variable both as to size and form, having yellow skin partially overspread with red, yellow flesh, and a red pit cavity from which the red streaks slightly into the flesh; the fruit, as best compared with that of the Sunburst nectarine (U.S. Plant Pat. No. 3,330), being freestone rather than clingstone, larger, more tender in flesh texture, and ripens about two weeks later.
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 fruit being cut in half to expose the flesh, with the stone remaining in one half.

I claim:
1. A new and distinct variety of brachytic dwarf nectarine tree, substantially as illustrated and described, which is of medium size, spreading, dense, foliated wtih large, lanceolate, acutely pointed leaves having a crenate margin and short petiole, and a regular and productive bearer and form, having yellow skin partially overspread with red, yellow flesh, and a red pit cavity from which the red streaks slightly into the flesh; the fruit, as best compared with that of the Sunburst nectarine, being freestone rather than clingstone, larger, more tender in flesh texture, and ripens about two weeks later.
