  • Thisinvention relates to a new and distinct variety of nectarine having certain highly desirable characteristics, as will appear hereinafter.
  • the parent tree was a'peach tree of the type known in the San Joaquin Valley, California, as Hutchison.
  • the original Hutchison originated as a chance seedling and many such trees are now in existence.
  • the name, Hutchison has not, however, been registered.
  • the Hutchison tree tends toward being upright, is normally vigorous and over a period of seven years has produced good average crops.
  • the tree grows to a large size, fully as large and vigorous as the Elberta.
  • the foliage is very abundant but is normal for peaches, both as to size and color.
  • the leaves are serrated with regular small serrations.
  • the tree is as resistant to common peach diseases as trees of other varieties and the commonly used spray program as used for other varieties is satisfactory. It has excellent grafting qualities and is sufliciently resistant to cold to withstand the prevailing temperatures which may occur in the San Joaquin Valley, California, peach growing area.
  • the Hutchison fruit is light green ground color changing to a light yellow when it ripens, with a red blush from deep to blood red on one-half to three-fourths of the fruit, with a fine speckling of red on the rest of the surface.
  • the fruit is medium to large in size.
  • the general form is oblique with a round apex.
  • the base form is flat to slightly flat.
  • the apex tip is slightly prominent and beaked.
  • the Hutchison fruit ripens August th to th has a slight typical peach fragrance and a good flavor, only moderately acid.
  • the flesh is white "with a slight tending towards greenish, with a fringe of red dispersed into it immediately around the pit where it is bright red. It has smooth skin in comparison with other peaches, such as the Triumph or the Elberta, with a short fuzz and the surface is inclined to have several bumps at the base. It is a complete freestone, the stone being small to medium in size.
  • the peel is thin tomedium in thickness. As the fruit ripens, the red blush remains, greenish portions of the fruit becoming pale yellow in color.

  • This nectarine originated and is reproduced upon Hutchison peach trees, described above. It is reproduced by budding.
  • the nectarine has also been reproduced by top working on commercial peach root stock known as Shalil, which bears the plant introduction number U. S. D. A. #623,850.
  • Shalil commercial peach root stock
  • the nectarine trees formed. by such top Working upon this root stock have an exceptionally large crop for trees of the age of the Shalil trees utilized, which are at present in their third leaf.
  • the nectarine fruit is medium to large in size, samples measured varying from 2% inches by 2 inches to 2 inches and 2% inches.
  • the general form is oblique to slightly off round. It is compressed at right angles to the suture.
  • the base form is slightly flat and the apex is mammiform.
  • the dorsal half is slightly larger than the ventral half.
  • the ripening period is August 15th to 25th.
  • the fruit has a slight nectarine fragrance and a good inviting flavor, slightly on the acid side.
  • the flesh is nearly white with a slight greenish tint.
  • the flesh at the pit is a bright red with rays of red extending into the flesh approxi mately A to A, inch.
  • the flesh is firm and of a very fine texture, juicy but not watery. It is not mealy but rather melting.
  • the skin is smooth and completely devoid of fuzz.
  • the surface is smooth with the suture not entirely regular, one carpel being higher.
  • the skin is thin but not so tender as to easily permit abrasions, yet not objectionably heavy.
  • I claim: 1 A new and distinct variety of nectarine as shown and described, characterized by the lateness of its ripening period, its size, and its redness of skin.
