I claim: 
     
       1. A new and distinct variety of nectarine tree, substantially as illustrated and described, characterized, in particular, by freestone fruit having general resemblance to the Summer Grand but ripening about a week earlier, and ripening substantially with the Sun Grand and Flavortop.
