Nectarine tree, Harvest Sun

Abstract

A new and distinct variety of nectarine tree denominated varietally as "Harvest Sun" and which is somewhat similar in its date of harvesting with the fruit produced by the Ito et al. nectarine tree (U.S. Plant Pat. No. 4,518) but which is distinguished therefrom and characterized principally as to novelty by producing freestone fruit which have an attractive skin color and a yellow colored flesh, the subject variety maturing for commercial harvesting and shipment approximately August 20 through August 25 in the San Joaquin Valley of Central California.

Having thus described and illustrated my new variety of nectarine tree, what I claim: 
     
       1. A new and distinct variety of nectarine tree to be denominated varietally as "Harvest Sun" substantially as illustrated and described and which is characterized principally as to novelty by its production of fruit which are somewhat similar in their date of harvesting with the fruit produced by the Ito et al. nectarine tree, (U.S. Plant Pat. No. 4,518), but which is distinguished therefrom by producing fruit which are freestone by nature, have a pleasing globose shape, and an attractive skin color, the fruit of the subject variety ripe for commercial harvesting and shipment approximately August 20 through 25 in the San Joaquin Valley of Central California.
