Abstract
An improved nectarine tree originating as a bud mutation of Stark "Red Gold". This new variety produces freestone fruit the skin of which is a full deep red when fully ripe and which is mottled with yellow in the ripening stages, full ripeness occurring some two to three days earlier than the fruit of the parent variety.
Description
This invention or discovery relates to a new and distinct variety of nectarine tree which bears yellow-fleshed freestone fruit having a deep red skin color when fully ripe and which is mottled with yellow during the ripening stages. This new variety is of the type embraced by group III of the classification of Callavet and Souty, Monographic des Principals Varietes de Pechers, 1950 edition, page 46. This new variety originated as a bud mutation of Stark "Red Gold" in the applicant's orchard located near Wapato, Wash. and has been asexually reproduced at said location by topworking of mature orchard trees so as to establish the genetic stability of the new variety through successive generations.
As compared with Sun Grand (U.S. Plant Pat. No. 974) has leaves with reniform instead of globose glands and bears fruit which is larger in size, ripens approximately ten days earlier and has less red exterior color during the ripening stages. It ripens some two to three days earlier than its parent "Red Gold" which it otherwise resembles in most respects other than the deeper red and more uniform red color of the fruit at full ripeness of the new variety as compared with the parent variety.
The photographic print depicts a branch of the new variety with fruit approaching full ripeness.
Leaves of the new variety tend to be slightly lighter in color than those of "Red Gold" and slightly more folded in form.
The following outline of characteristics applies to the new variety, the major color plate identifications being reference to Maerz and Paul Dictionary of Color, except where common terms of color definition are employed.
