Nectarine tree (44-G-520)

Abstract

A nectarine tree which is large to medium in size, vigorous to medium in vigor, upright to spreading in growth, foliated with large to medium size, lanceolate, acutely pointed leaves having a crenate margin, medium length petiole, and alternate, reniform glands, and a regular and productive bearer of large to medium size, uniform, symmetrical, globose, clingstone fruit having yellow skin substantially overspread with red, yellow flesh, and a pit cavity which is red with the red streaked lightly into the flesh about the pit cavity.

I claim: 
     
       1. A new and distinct variety of nectarine tree, substantially as illustrated and described, particularly characterized by clingstone fruit which ripens a few days later than the Late Le Grand and a few days earlier than the Regal Grand; the fruit, as further compared with said prior varieties, being, on the average, slightly smaller in size but more uniform, more attractive in appearance by reason of greater red exterior color, and of better eating quality.
