1. Field of the Invention.
In the conduct of an extensive plant breeding program -- on behalf of a commercial farming company, and in such company's experimental orchard located near Fresno, Fresno County, Calif. -- I have originated a substantial number of new and distinct varieties of fruit trees, and which include the present variety of nectarine tree.
2. Classification of the Variety.
The drawing is an illustration, by photographic reproduction in color, of a twig with leaves, and separate fruit; one fruit being half cut away to expose the flesh and stone.
The botanical details of this new and distinct variety of nectarine tree -- with color definitions (except those in common color terms) referenced to Plochere Color System (in book form) -- are as follows:
