Nectarine tree

Abstract

A nectarine tree, generally similar to the Armking Nectarine Tree (U.S. Plant Pat. No. 2,943) which it most nearly resembles, bearing yellow fleshed, semi-freestone fruit of large size for its ripening season which is from five to seven days earlier than the Armking.

Having thus described and illustrated our new variety of nectarine tree, what is new and desired to be secured by Letters Patent is: 
     
       1. A new and distinct variety of nectarine tree, substantially as illustrated and described, characterized by its bearing of semi-freestone, yellow fleshed fruit which is of large size for its relatively early ripening season; and by its general resemblance to the Armking Nectarine Tree (U.S. Plant Pat. No. 2,943), which it most nearly resembles, but from which it is distinguished by its fruit ripening from five to seven days earlier, having firmer flesh, and being more rounded.
