Abstract
A new and distinct variety of nectarine tree which has the unique combination of desirable features that are outstanding in a new variety:
1. Heavy and regular production of fruit.
2. Late maturing, white flesh, freestone nectarines.
3. Fruit with firm flesh, good handling and shipping qualities.
4. Vigorous upright growth.
5. Fruit with excellent flavor and eating quality.
6. The fruit staying firm on the tree 7 to 8 days after shipping ripe.
Description
The present new variety of nectarine tree was originated by us in our experimental orchard located near Modesto, Calif., as a first generation cross between two selected seedlings with the field identification numbers 35EB252 and 35GC20. The female parent with the identification number 35EB252 orginated from a second generation cross between two selected seedlings. One with the parentage of Sun Grand Nectarine (U.S. Plant Pat. No. 974) crossed with Merril Gem Peach (U.S. Plant Pat. No. 868) and the other seedling was selected from a second generation cross between a late maturing nectarine of unknown parentage crossed with Autumn Grand Nectarine (U.S. Plant Pat. No. 2,894). The pollen parent with the identification number 35GC20 originated as a second generation seedling from a cross between Redwing Peach (U.S. Plant Pat. No. 621) and a very firm, high colored nectarine of unknown parentage. A large group of these first generation seedlings was planted and grown under careful observation by us. One such seedling, which is the present variety, having especially desirable late maturing fruit was selected for asexual reproduction and commercialization.
The present new variety of nectarine tree was asexually reproduced by budding, as performed by us in our experimental orchard located near Modesto, Calif., and shows that all characteristics come true to the original tree and are established and transmitted through succeeding propagations.
The new and distinct variety of nectarine tree is of large size, vigorous upright growth, a regular and productive bearer of large size, white flesh, freestone fruit with excellent flavor and eating quality. The fruit is further characterized by being of firm flesh with good handling and shipping qualities, having the ability to stay firm on the tree 7 to 8 days after maturity (shipping ripe) and maturing in the late season approximately 10 days after Autumn Grand Nectarine (U.S. Plant Pat. No. 2,894).
The accompanying color photographs show typical specimens of the fruit and foliage of our new variety. A small branch with the upper and lower surface of the leaves are illustrated, as well as specimens of the fruit with the exterior and a sectional view showing flesh coloration, pit cavity and a stone remaining in place. The photographs were taken shortly after the fuit was picked at maturity (shipping ripe) and the colors are as nearly true as is reasonably possible in a color representation of this type.
The detailed botanical description of our new and distinct variety of nectarine tree, its flowers, fruit and foliage, is based on observations of specimens grown near Modesto, Calif., with color terminology (except those in common terms) in referenced to Reinhold Color Atlas by A. Kornerup and J. H. Wanscher.
