Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a new variety of nectarine, primary characterized as to novelty by the unusual size, form, color and quality of its fruit.
  • This new variety is the result of the following development: A quantity of peach pits of the variety of Elberta were discarded upon the border of a garden and several of these developed into trees which matured fruits. All of them except one tree produced yellow-fleshed fruits greatly resembling the well known variety E1- berta. The other tree produced oval, yellowfleshed nectarines. Buds from this mutation were employed to propagate the variety upon certain experimental grounds in the State of New Jersey where it was fruited for several years. Then pits of this variety, which had developed as a result of open pollination, germinated and a number of the seedlings were selected and planted out in orchard form. One of the seedlings produced much larger and more round fruit than the original parent.
  • This offspring represents the new variety of plant of this application and it, in turn, has been asexually propagated by budding with a resulting reproduction true to form. These reproductions are now full bearing trees with a height of about fourteen feet and a spread of about sixteen feet.
  • the tree has a vigorous, medium spreading habit and sets fruit buds quite freely. Its leaves are large, slightly crinkled with crena e margins and reniform glands. The blades of the leaves are a dark yellowish green and the midribs are of a lighter yellowish green.
  • the bloom is of the large, showy petalled type, of a light pink color and self fertile.
  • the flesh of the fruit is yellow with a slight amount of red surrounding the pit.
  • the flesh does not adhere to the pit when the fruit is ripe. It is, in other words, a freestone.
  • the flesh is firm, juicy and of high edible quality.
