Nectarine tree

Abstract

A nectarine tree which is large, spreading, vase formed; foliated with medium size, lanceolate, acutely pointed leaves having a crenate margin and medium size, reniform glands; blooms medium season from hardy, medium size buds, the flowers being large and pink; and is a regular and productive bearer of large, uniform, symmetrical, globose-oblong, early-season, freestone fruit having yellow skin substantially entirely overspread with red when the fruit is fully ripe, and the flesh being yellow.

I claim: 
     
       1. A new and distinct variety of nectarine tree, substantially as illustrated and described, which is particularly characterized by the regular and productive bearing of yellow-flesh, freestone fruit which ripens intermediate the May Grand nectarine and the Early Sun Grand nectarine; the fruit being of slightly larger average size in comparison to said May Grand nectarine and Early Sun Grand nectarine, and somewhat firmer than the latter.
