Dwarf nectarine tree

Abstract

A genetically dwarf nectarine tree which is of comparatively medium size, medium vigor, spreading, dense, foliated with large to medium size, lanceolate leaves having a crenate margin, flowering mid-season with large flowers, and a productive and regular bearer of early ripening, medium size, symmetrical, globose, freestone fruit having yellow skin substantially overspread with red, and yellow flesh.

I claim: 
     
       1. A new and distinct variety of genetically dwarf nectarine tree, substantially as shown and described, which is of comparatively medium size, medium vigor, spreading, dense, foliated with large to medium size, lanceolate leaves having a crenate margin, flowering mid-season with large flowers, and a productive and regular bearer of early ripening, medium size, symmetrical, globose, freestone fruit having yellow skin substantially overspread with red, and yellow flesh; the variety being characterized by fruit which ripens about two weeks earlier than the Golden Prolific nectarine, and which fruit has a red exterior color brighter than said Golden Prolific nectarine and resembling the May Grand nectarine in such respect.
