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 separate fruit of the variety and a twig with leaves; one fruit being cut into halves, with the stone remaining in one half.
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:
