1. Dwarf size (6 to 8 feet at maturity).
2. Regular and productive bearer.

Description
The new variety of dwarf nectarine was originated by us in the experimental orchard located at Modesto, Calif. It was selected as a second generation seedling from a cross between Early Sun Grand Nectarine (U.S. Plant Pat. No. 1,420) and a dwarf nectarine seedling of unknown parentage which carried the identification of #101 in our breeding program. These seedlings, which were planted and grown under careful observation by us gave many and varying characteristics, including approximately 25% dwarf trees. One such dwarf seedling which is the present variety, having been especially desirable with respect to its fruit was selected for asexual reproduction.
The new variety of dwarf nectarine tree was asexually reproduced by budding in the experimental orchard located at Modesto, Calif. and shows that all characteristics come true to the original tree in all respects.
Our new and distinct variety of nectarine tree is of dwarf size (6 to 8 feet at maturity), spreading growth, moderate vigor, and a regular and productive bearer of medium to large, firm, yellow flesh, freestone fruit with a high degree of red skin color. The variety is further characterized by having attractive dense foliage with close leaf nodes and producing large showy pink flowers.
The accompanying photographs show typical specimens of the fruit and foliage of our new dwarf nectarine variety. The upper and lower surface of the leaves being illustrated and the exterior and sectional view of the fruit being shown with a stone remaining in place. The photographs were taken shortly after being picked (firm ripe) and the colors are as nearly true as is reasonably possible in a color representation of this type.
The following is a botanical detailed description of our new variety of dwarf nectarine tree, as based on observations of specimens grown at Modesto, Calif., with color terminology in accordance with Reinhold Color Atlas by A. Kornerup and J. H. Wanscher.
