THE CROSS-BREEDING OF PEACHES AND NECTARINES, 467 
A cross of two nectarines, ‘ Dryden’ ? (midseason, small flowers) by 
‘Harly Rivers’ ¢ (early, large flowers), gave two seedlings from one 
stone, one with large flowers ripening at the same time as the seed-parent, 
the other with small flowers ripening with the pollen-parent. The fruits 
of both seedlings resemble the seed-parent in appearance. 
There appears to be no correlation between the size and colour of 
the fruits and the size of the flowers or the shape or absence of glands. 
I cannot venture to dogmatise on the above results; no doubt a larger 
series of recorded crosses would allow definite deductions to be made.
