Nectarine tree named May Jim

Abstract

A new and novel F2 hybrid, large size nectarine tree from "Red Jim"×"May Glow", bearing fruit having yellow, lightly red flecked, very firm meaty flesh which does not cling strongly to very small stones at ripening about the last week in May to the first week in June, with a bright, nearly total red skin color.

Having thus described and illustrated my new nectarine tree, what is new and desired to be secured by Letters Patent is: 
     
       1. A new and distinct variety of nectarine tree with fruit of yellow fleshed cling stone type, with slight red flecks throughout the flesh and not pronounced at the stone, substantially as herein shown and described, having a maturity period in the early season, the fruit being essentially round with a compressed base, having bright red skin color and being very firm, and which handles well during packing operations.
