the present discoveryrelates toa new and distinct variety of nectarine plant, originating as a seedling of Burbanks Flaming-Gold variety of fuzzless peach or nectarine.
the Burbank varietyis notable for its smooth, waxy skin of flashing gold blending into flaming red coloring, its delicious peach flavor and golden orange, juicy flesh.
the present varietyresembles this Burbank nectarine very closely in appearance, size and flavor, but is dominantly distinguished therefrom by its early ripening period at least two weeks ahead of Burbank, when grown under comparable conditions.
the drawingillustrates specimens of this new variety both in elevation and sectional views, depicting also the pit and its cavity.
