The Nectarine 
The fruit here shown, 
the nectarine, is much 
less familiar than it de- 
serves to be. It is in 
reality a form of peach. 
The botanists question 
whether it is not specific- 
ally identical with the or- 
dinary cultivated peach. 
It will appear in the text 
that Mr. Burbank has 
made remarkable experi- 
ments in crossbreeding 
and hybridizing the nec- 
tarine with the peach 
and with the almond.
