Abstract

A nectarine tree which is medium in size and vigor, upright-spreading, open, and round-topped; foliated with medium size, ovate, lanceolate, acutely pointed leaves having a crenate margin and alternate-irregular, medium size, reniform glands; flowers from appressed, pubescent buds of medium size and length; the flowers, of medium season, being large and pink; and is a regular and productive bearer of early-season, medium size, uniform, symmetrical, ovoid, freestone-semi-freestone fruit having yellow skin substantially overspread and blushed with red, and yellow flesh.

I claim: 
     
       1. A new and distinct variety of nectarine tree, substantially as shown and described, characterized in comparison to the May Grand nectarine by a tree which is more productive and fruit which is in harvest approximately one week later, the fruit being more rounded and of smoother configuration.
